Matthew : Season 7 - Week 6

Sermon Description:

In the second part of Matthew 16, Jesus begins to reveal to His disciples a very difficult truth: His life’s mission is going to cost Him His life. Jesus is going to be killed. Obviously, the disciples, and Peter particularly, don’t have categories for this. Being the Messiah means Jesus will be a conquering King, right? But as Jesus explains, we discover that allegiance to Him will cost us. But in the end, we find that by following Jesus, we get two things that are worth it. First, it’s the path of Jesus Himself and He’ll be with us. And second, by denying ourselves and putting Jesus first, we actually will find life – true life, not some shallow substitute – and life everlasting.
