Thought for Thursday February 19

From heaven the Lord looks down on the earth.

Let this be written for the generation to come,

and let his future creatures praise the LORD:

"The LORD looked down from his holy height,

from heaven he beheld the earth,

To hear the groaning of the prisoners,

to release those doomed to die."

From heaven the Lord looks down on the earth.

Mark 8: 27 – 33 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days.

Do I really want to work for someone who predicts this kind of outcome? What did the disciples know that kept them going in spite of this prediction?

Action: Make a list of 3 – 5 reasons to kept following Jesus in spite of his own prediction.
