The Christ of God


Luke 9:18-27

Key Verse 9:20


1. Think about Jesus' question in verse 18 and the disciples' reply to the question. Who do people of our own generation say Jesus is?  


2. Compare Peter's answer to Jesus' question in verse 20. What does "the Christ of God" mean? What indicates that Peter answered correctly? (21)


3. Consider what Jesus prophesied about himself in verse 22 especially the word "must". Why "must" all these things happen to him? 


4. Verse 23 says that if anyone would come after Jesus he "must" do three things: 1) deny himself; 2) take up his cross; and 3) follow Jesus.  How are these related to one another? 


5. Compare Jesus' words in verse 23 with what he says in verses 24-25. How do these verses supplement each other in their meanings? 


6. It appears that no one should be ashamed of Jesus and his words. Yet why would anyone still be ashamed of Jesus and his words?  What will those who are ashamed of Jesus’ words end up forfeiting? 


7. Think about what Jesus said in verse 27. What does it mean to "see the kingdom of God"? How is “seeing God's kingdom” related to Jesus' teachings in verses 22-26?
