THE CALVARY MINISTRY ONLINE The Gospel From Calvary THURSDAY 6TH AUGUST, 2026 WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? ✝️📖👑 📜```TEXT: MARK 8:27-38```📜 🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` "And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ" (MARK 8:29). In Mark 8, Jesus fed four thousand with seven loaves, and still the Pharisees sought a sign. Men ate and forgot. Then Jesus took His disciples to Caesarea Philippi and asked, “Whom say ye that I am?” It is the greatest question ever asked. Crowds can call Him John the Baptist, Elias, or a prophet, but you must answer for yourself. Peter answered, “Thou art the Christ.” And immediately Jesus began to teach them that the Christ must suffer, be rejected, be killed, and rise again. The Christ must go to Calvary. Three truths from this confession: One, revelation must become personal. “But whom say ye that I am?” Not what your parents say, not what your pastor says. Who do you say He is? Your eternity hangs on this answer. Two, the Christ must die. “He began to teach them, that the Son of man must... be killed.” Peter wanted a Christ without a Cross. Many still do. But there is no Christ without Calvary. Three, to follow Him you must take your own cross. “Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” He died on His Cross for your salvation; you take up your cross for His glorification. To save your life is to lose it. To lose it for Him is to find it. Who is Jesus to you today? A miracle-worker for bread only, or the Christ who died and rose for you? If He is truly the Christ, then follow Him — deny self, take up your cross, and follow. ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` You can never truly confess Him as Christ until you have seen Him on His Cross. 📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` PSALMS 64-66
