Our understanding of who Jesus is will impact how we think a follower of Jesus will act. In the Gospel today (<a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/mark/8?27'>Mk 8:27-35</a>), although Peter correctly identifies that Jesus is the Messiah, Peter cannot grasp that the Messiah will be a suffering servant. Since Jesus is a Saviour who came to serve others, we are called to do the same.
