Teaching at Fall Creek Falls



This past week, I engaged with 100+ Jr. High students at the Fall Creek Falls camp and challenged them with the question from Jesus: “…but who do you say that I am?” (Mark 8:29) 

Who do you say that Jesus is? This question is of the utmost importance and one that every human will answer. I aided the students in answering this question by looking at four passages from the Gospel of Mark; let me encourage you to do the same.

We find that Jesus is God in human form in Mark 2:1-12.
We find that Jesus’ perspective is eternal in Mark 4:35-41.
We find that Jesus is the keystone…he makes everything work…in Mark 9:2-8.
We find that Jesus is a suffering savior in Mark 8:31-33.

Who do you say that Jesus is? If you are a parent, how are you instructing your child to answer this question?
