“Jesus Kept Secrets”

Mark 8:27-30 and related texts

“Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.”

Why this “Messianic Secret”? Because Jesus wants you...

I. … __________________________________________________.

Verses 27-29: ..and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them,
“Who do men say that I am?” So they answered, “John the Baptist; but some
say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who
do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.”

What conclusions do you jump to about Jesus?

II ... __________________________________________________.

Mark 9:31-32: For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of
Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And
after He is killed, He will rise the third day.” But they did not understand this
saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

Where might you need to suffer, that glory might follow?
