Jesus asked the question - who do you say I am?  Lots of people have an answer for that.  There's white Jesus, woke Jesus, Republican Jesus, Democrat Jesus, capitalist Jesus, socialist Jesus, and more.  All of these answers are like Peter in that they don't like Jesus' answer to who he is and what he must do, and what it means to follow.  And while we are often like Peter, Jesus is faithful, loves us anyway, and does what needs to be done.  The sermon is based on Mark 8:27-9:8.
