Mark 8:31–38

31 Then he began teaching them that the son of Mank suffered many things and had to be rejected by elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law. Peter pulled him aside and began to reprimand him.

33 But when Jesus tried to see his disciples, he reprimanded Peter. "Now, Satan!" He said. "You thought about only human concern, not God's concern."

34 And he and the disciples convived the crowd and said, "If you want to be my disciples abandon yourself, grasp their cross and obey me." Their lives will save it for me and the gospel l 36 What are the benefits of someone who has enjoyed the whole world losing their soul? 37 Or what can someone use in exchange for their soul? 38 If someone is ashamed of me for my adultery and sin, as long as he and the holy angel come into the glory of my father, my words will be ashamed of them. "

I would like to write about Ephesians 6: 10-18 during the advent season of 2016. However, I think that my heart is writing Marco's Gospel 8: 31-38. Because even though these verses relate to the birth of Christmas and Jesus Christ, I want to prepare people's mind for Christmas. Well, I think it's time to write about the spiritual series of Ephesians 6: 10-18. God's text is very rich. I would like to do other things besides writing spirituality but I really do not mind writing the time for mental practice everyday during the holiday season. More specifically, I am not in a hurry to complete them to do other things.

In Mark 1: 29 - 31, Matthew 8: 14 - 15, Luke 4: 38 - 39 it is written that Jesus and his disciples went to Peter and Andrew the day after the church (synagogue). Home This may not be unusual. Even today I can go out with my friends after the church. This is an era of fellowship and integration. However, this special day is somewhat different. When a man entered the house this time, the woman stood up and told Peter that his mother-in-law had a fever. We know that fever does not necessarily life threatening, but you can go to bed at any fever. It can weaken you and usually there are signs of infection somewhere in your body. After listening to her illness, Jesus went directly to her.

The structure of Mark did not reach agreement. However, Mark 8: 26 - 31 has a widely recognized breakthrough. Before 8:26 there are plenty of stories about miracles, their behavior is in Galilee, Jesus preached to the crowds, and after 8: 31 there are few. Miracles and actions were transferred from Galilee to pagan territory or hostile Jews, and Jesus taught his disciples. Peter acknowledged that Jesus was a Messiah in the Mark 8: 27-30. Another recognized turning point appeared at the end of chapter 10 when Jesus and his followers arrived in Jerusalem and began to face the temple authorities. Steven Smith pointed out that the structure of Mark is similar to that of Greek tragedy.
