From Google AI Mode

Questions on Jesus’ Identity (Mark 8:27–30)
• Initial Perception:
Why do you think Jesus started by asking, “Who do people say I am?” before asking the disciples for their personal view?
• The World’s View: In verse 28, people compared Jesus to John the Baptist or Elijah. What are some popular but incomplete views of Jesus in our world today?
• Personal Conviction: Jesus asks, “But who do you say I am?”. If Jesus stood before you today, how would you answer this question based on your life, not just your words?
• Peter’s Answer: Peter identifies Jesus as "the Messiah". How does Peter’s understanding of this title at that moment differ from what Jesus reveals in the following verses?

Questions on the Suffering Messiah (Mark 8:31–33)
• The Prediction:
Why did Jesus wait until Peter’s confession to start teaching plainly about His upcoming suffering and death?
• Human Concerns: When Peter rebukes Jesus, Jesus responds, “Get behind me, Satan!”. In what ways do "human concerns" or the desire for comfort distract us from the "concerns of God"?
• Misunderstood Mission: Why was the idea of a suffering Messiah so difficult for Peter and the other disciples to accept?

Questions on the Cost of Discipleship (Mark 8:34–35)
• Taking Up the Cross:
Jesus says disciples must "deny themselves" and "take up their cross". What does it practically look like to "deny yourself" in today’s time?
• The Paradox of Life: How can someone "lose their life" for the sake of the Gospel while still living their daily life?
• Self-Preservation: Jesus warns against trying to "save your life". What are the "lives" (reputations, comforts, or plans) we most often try to save instead of surrendering them to God?

Application Questions
• What is one area of your life where you are currently following "human concerns" rather than God's will?
• How does the reality of Jesus' resurrection (v. 31) give you the strength to face the "crosses" in your own life?
