2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What question does Jesus ask his disciples at Caesarea Philippi, and what does he immediately begin to teach after Peter answers?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Peter confessed the Messiah but rejected the cross. Which parts of following Jesus do you welcome, and which do you resist?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • What would 'denying yourself' concretely mean for you this week — one real act, not a feeling?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Jesus warns against being ashamed of him. Where are you tempted to stay silent, and who will you speak to instead?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
