Whether it's news networks or sports networks, we live in a world of talking heads with strong opinions. Watching things like world events or ball games, ourselves, we also form opinions as to what's going on. This helps set the stage for the dialogue between Jesus and his disciples in Luke 9:18-27, as they engage in a sort of "postgame commentary" fresh off the victory of miraculously feeding a multitude with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish.
"Who do you say that I am?" Jesus asks his followers.
It's a question we must all ask...
And the answer Jesus provides is the one we must be prepared to embrace.
