On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss Mark's account of Peter's confession of Christ's identity. We find here that while Peter gives the correct answer to the question Jesus poses to him, Peter remains resistant to the coming event of salvation which is to come through the cross and the resurrection. To preach this text, the preacher has to recognize the resistance of the old sinful nature to the suffering of Christ which takes away the sins of the world.
