Mark 8:27-33

We are about half way point through the gospel of Mark and the central question comes in. Who do you say that I am? I have always taught that if I were pope I would move this question from Caesarea Philippi to Golgotha. Jesus having disappointed everyone he now asks… who do you say that I am? I believe that after one has said some unanswered prayers, after one has called and there is no answer, after someone has walked in some darkness we cannot truly say who the Lord is. Something happens to us when we fall face down and are picked up not by heavenly beings but by struggling earthlings. So pause for now and answer this question when glitter hits the fan? Now who am I to you?
