"Who do you say that I am?"

This single question marks the structural and theological center of the Gospel of Mark. In this episode, we explore the dramatic pivot point in Mark 8:27–33, where the mystery of Jesus’ identity is finally spoken aloud—only to be immediately misunderstood.

We dive deep into the geographical significance of Caesarea Philippi, a city dedicated to pagan gods and the cult of Caesar, where Jesus poses the ultimate question of authority. We also examine the "half-sight" of the disciples, connecting Peter’s confession to the two-stage healing of the blind man just moments before.

In this video, we discuss:

The Great Pivot: How Mark’s Gospel shifts from Jesus’ power (miracles) to His mission (the Cross).

The Meaning of "Christ": What Peter meant when he said "You are the Messiah" and why his expectations were so different from Jesus' reality.

The Divine "Must": Why Jesus uses the Greek word dei to describe His coming suffering—it wasn't an accident; it was the plan.

The Rebuke: Why Jesus called His lead disciple "Satan" and what it teaches us about seeking glory without the sacrifice.

Personal Faith: Why we cannot live on "borrowed answers" or the opinions of the crowd.

If you’ve ever felt like you see the truth but "not clearly yet," this study is for you. Join us as we move from the miracles of Galilee toward the road to Jerusalem.
