Think about Jesus’ character: what traits do you excel at (ex., compassion, generosity, mercy)? Thank God for his ongoing work in your life.

In Mark 8:29 (& elsewhere), Jesus asks his disciples: “Who do you say I am?” Read the passage, and then answer the question for yourself.

Whenever? Does Christ get a few routine moments of your time before meals and bedtime, or is he welcome to join you all day long?

Wherever? Are there places you frequent day-to-day where Jesus is not welcome to join you? What would change if he came along?
