To study Luke 9 in a group
1. What it says
When Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?”, what do the crowds say, and what does Peter answer? (vv. 18-20)
2. What it means
Jesus says anyone who wants to follow him must deny themselves and take up their cross daily. What reason does he give? (vv. 23-25)
3. How I live it
The disciples argued about who was greatest, and Jesus stood a child beside him (vv. 46-48). Whom could you give more attention to today?
