Mark 8:34—9:1:
These statements about discipleship are radical and must have been very difficult for the listeners to swallow. Disciples must be willing to give themselves totally to Jesus and by doing so know that this could involve suffering, even death. The Gospel concludes with the fact that favorable judgment by God depends on their selfless commitment.
I know that I can be very selfish with my time, talent and treasure. I work on this sinful tendency constantly and pray for the courage to move forward in faith.
