Jesus asks his disciples, "And who do you say that I am?" Finally, after a multitude of signs, finally Peter clues in..... "You are the Messiah." And then Jesus begins to talk about the unthinkable. "I MUST suffer," he says, "I MUST be murdered." Why? Why did he HAVE to suffer? Why did he have to be murdered by the powers that be? Why a King on a cross? Come Sunday to find out more. We will also be celebrating the Lord\'s Supper.
