This week’s scripture passages include: Exodus 24:12-18, Matthew 16:13 through 17:13 (NIV)
In today’s passages, we hear Jesus say, “Follow Me.” However, it is a following that has many more layers to it, than we first understood when the disciples were called at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry that we studied just a few weeks ago, to “follow me and I will make you fishers of people.”
Because here, late into his ministry, Jesus tells the disciples (and us) that in order to follow him, they (we)will now have to follow him all the way to the cross.
