CCLI#949854

The sermon explores Jesus' first explicit revelation of His mission to suffer and die, contrasting this with Peter's expectation of an earthly political kingdom. It highlights the spiritual danger of prioritizing human comfort over God's redemptive plan, identifying such resistance as a manifestation of unbelief. The preacher emphasizes that true discipleship requires self-denial and the willingness to lose one's life for the sake of the Gospel. Drawing on Peter's later writings, the message illustrates how patient divine shepherding transforms weak faith into a confident hope anchored in Christ's resurrection. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to trust in Jesus as the sole source of salvation, regardless of whether they see Him physically or believe by faith alone.
