During the season of Lent, we will be reflecting on passages from the book of Mark that highlight the dual themes of Jesus as suffering servant and conquering king. For the first week, we look at three different predictions Jesus makes about his death and resurrection. As we encounter the intensifying predictions, we will be challenged by Jesus' resolve to journey toward death. But we will also see how the disciples seemed to completely miss the foreshadowing of his resurrection. How are we called to follow Jesus toward death? How do we miss the promise of the resurrection?
