Lesson 6<br />

A Follower of Jesus<br />

Defined<br />

MARK 8:22–9:50<br />

“If you truly want to follow me, you should at<br />

once<br />

completely disown your own life. And you must<br />

be willing<br />

to share my cross <strong>and</strong> experience it as your<br />

own,<br />

as you continually surrender to my ways.” (<strong>Mark</strong> 8:34)<br />

What does it mean to follow Jesus?<br />

Is it about what you say, by reciting some set of magical<br />

words? Is it only about what you know <strong>and</strong> believe or whether<br />

you subscribe to this or that list of truths? Is it about how you<br />

behave, avoiding certain behaviors while embracing others?<br />

Do you need to take a class or be initiated?
