Study
26 From the Book of Matthew is: Matthew 16:21 – 17:13
1.
16:21 indicates Christ’s clear awareness of the cross
ahead. The word ‘must’ expresses a sense
of inward necessity. What does this
reveal about the character of Christ’s death?
2.
What are the terms of discipleship (verse 24)? What incentive
does Christ put forward in verses 25-28 to encourage His disciple to pay the
cost? What did Peter particularly need
to learn (verse 22, 23)?
3.
In the story of the transfiguration (17:1-13), can you see its
purpose (a) for Christ Himself, and (b) for His disciples?
Notes 16:28. The reference here to ‘the Son of man coming in his
kingdom’ would seem to be not to His second advent but to His post-resurrection
Triumph and exaltation to the throne.
