In his book The Cost of Discipleship, Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, \\u201cWhen Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.\\u201d At CCV we\\u2019ve been following Jesus\\u2019 journey in the Gospel of Matthew from Galilee to Golgotha. We\\u2019re calling this series \\u201cVia Crucis,\\u201d which is Latin for \\u201cThe way of the cross.\\u201d In this week\\u2019s message we turn to Matthew chapter 16, the turning point in Jesus\\u2019 story. To get away from the crowds Jesus took his disciples to a pagan area called Caesarea Philippi, a long day\\u2019s walk north of Capernaum. What he revealed to his disciples about his identity, his mission, and our mission, will upend everything you\\u2019ve come to believe about what it means to follow Jesus.
