Whiteboard: Following Christ

This Sunday's Gospel reading (Matthew 16:21-28) picks up exactly where we last Sunday's Gospel reading left off.

So it made sense that this week's Whiteboard picture should draw on the images of last week's Whiteboard picture.

 

Last Sunday Christ invited us into the conversation when he asked, "Who do you say that I am?" This Sunday we wrestle with what it means to follow Jesus. What obstacles stand in our way? What fears hold us back? What cross must we face in order to live into the fullness of the promises that we know through the grace, mercy, and love of God.
