Matthew 14-16

The whole thing revolves around Matthew 16:15…who do you think I am? The Pharisees and Sadducees have their opinion. What is yours?

Jesus just doesn’t care about the religious. He doesn’t care if he offends them. He doesn’t care what they think of him. He doesn’t care about their opinion or ‘rules.’ They just don’t matter.

Who do you think I am?

The Canaanite woman gets it. The boy with the sack lunch gets it.

Lingering Observation….
Take up your cross and follow me - no more self-preserving leadership. No more decisions made for the purpose of preserving your integrity, pride, comfort, or existence. Just follow me. It will be worth it.
