Study Notes

The Life of Christ

Peter and others understood Jesus as the Messiah, but differently than previously assumed.
This new understanding was profound and radically different from a mere commission from God.
Initially, the apostles were strictly charged to keep the identity of Jesus as Messiah to themselves.
Their perspectives were still limited; they imagined a Messiah who would drive out the Romans, restore the Davidic kingdom, and reign in earthly glory.
The Suffering Servant Messiah, as prophesied by Isaiah, was still beyond their comprehension.
Jesus had a great deal of work with the apostles to explain the significance of going to Jerusalem, enduring suffering, and being raised from the dead.
This teaching was extremely challenging to Peter, who protested this and was rebuked by Jesus.
Jesus countered Peter's statement with new teaching (the doctrine of the cross).
Those who want salvation must deny themselves, carry their cross and follow Jesus.
Gaining the whole world is meaningless if one forfeits their life.
People will be rewarded for their actions in the end.
