In the Shadow of the Cross, Part 2 // The Rev. Magrey deVega // February 25, 2024 Hyde Park United Methodist

- Christianity
The ministry of Jesus was full of reversals. Rather than feed our ego-driven, self-centered tendencies to focus on our own needs, he called us to lose ourselves, serve others, and give our lives for others. These reversals invert contemporary wisdom and right-size our lives for God.

Reflection Questions
1. How are you alike and unlike the life of Peter in the gospels?
2. In what ways does Jesus’ phrase “Take up your cross” make you feel unsettled, even challenged?
3. How will you be more intentional and diligent in your practical commitments to Jesus?
