3. Come

Eventually the penny dropped, and the people closest to Jesus understood that, at long last (after all those promises) God?s Promised One had come:

Mark 8:27-31
Jesus and the team were visiting the townships around Caesarea Philippi. As they made their way down the track one day Jesus said to the team, ?Who do the mob say I am?

The team told him, ?Some blokes say you?re John the Baptist, or maybe that old timer Elijah back again. Other blokes reckon you?re one of the prophets.?

Then Jesus stopped and said, ?But who do you say I am??

Peter replied, ?You are? the Christ! The Promised One!?

Jesus then warned them not to spill the beans to anyone about this, just yet.
Jesus began telling them what was in store for him: basically a lot of suffering (rejected by the crew in power), a gruesome death, and then coming back to life again. Jesus spelled it all out.
