Day 293: Matthew 16 and Mark 8

Today on Meditating the Word: Demand for a Sign, the Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees, Peter Declares that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus Predicts His Death, Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand, Jesus Heals a Blind Man, and the Way of the Cross.

This is Day 293. We are reading Matthew 16 and Mark 8

----

Father God, we choose to follow Jesus, wherever he leads. Even when it isn't the popular thing to do, we will take up our cross and follow him. Even when we are ridiculed for our faith, we will not deny him, but will proclaim the Good News. We are not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of salvation. There is no real profit to be had in earthly things that perish. So we die to ourselves, and live life eternal in Christ Jesus.  Amen
