FRIDAY- 25^th  WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –B

Gospel: Luke 9:18-22: You are the Christ of God, The Son of Man is destined to suffer grievously.

I Reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-11: There is a time for every occupation under heaven.

The First Prediction of Death: Who Jesus Really is, 9:18-22

Who is Jesus? The most critical time in a man’s life is when he answers this question.

1. Jesus was alone praying (v.18)

2. The people’s belief: Jesus was only a great man (v.18-19

3. The disciples’ conviction: Jesus was Messiah (v.20)

4. The full meaning of the conviction (v.21-22)

a. The full meaning: was not yet grasped

b. The full meaning: Jesus was the suffering and conquering Saviour

Thought: There will be the same false confession about Jesus Christ exist in every generation (Mk 6:3; Jn 1:10-11; 1Jn 2:22-23; 4:3).
