Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 8:27-38

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 8:27. Cæsarea Philippi.—This picturesquely situated town, originally called Paneas, after a cavern dedicated to Pan in its neighbourhood, was enlarged and fortified by Herod Philip, who also renamed it in honour of the emperor. Then, to distinguish it from the Cæsarea on the Mediterranean coast—the seat of the Roman government, where Cornelius lived and Paul suffered imprisonment—it was styled “Cæsarea Philippi.” The name was again changed to Neronias by... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 8:34-38

Mark 8:34-38 Saving One's Life by Losing It. When Christ is preached in our day, men are not ashamed of Him on precisely the same grounds that they were in the early days. Christ is represented by great churches that are emblazoned with art, that represent the wealth of the communities, that have about them a kind of historical charm and a flavour of antiquity, and men are not ashamed of Christ as of old, nor are they likely to be. Neither are men ashamed of Christ doctrinally. Whichever... read more

DISCOURSE: 1432THE GUILT AND DANGER OF BEING ASHAMED OF CHRISTMark 8:38. Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.A SENSE of shame would never have been experienced, if man had abode in innocence. There is no room for shame in heaven, because there is no sin. But since man has become a guilty and corrupt creature, it is highly... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 8:1-38

Let's turn now in our Bibles to Mark's gospel, chapter 8.Now, Mark has already told us how that Jesus fed five thousand men beside the women and children with five loaves and two fish. Now we find a second miracle of the multiplying of the food in order to supply the needs of the people. It is interesting at the beginning of Christ's ministry, when Satan was tempting Him, he said to Him because He was hungry after the forty day fast, "Why don't You take these stones and make them into bread?"... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 8:1-38

Mark 8:10 . He came into the parts of Dalmanutha, situate beyond the Jordan, where Tiberias and Magdala were considerable towns. Mark 8:12 . There shall no sign be given to this generation. Matthew 12:38. Mark 8:24 . I see men, as trees, walking. To other blind men the Lord said, receive your sight, and the blind saw. Here he chose to diversify his manner by a gradual restoration of the powers of vision. From the more private and gradual operation of this miracle, we learn that this... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Mark 8:38

Mark 8:38Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words.-Ashamed of JesusI. Inquire into the nature of the crime of being ashamed of Christ, and of His words. The duty opposed to the crime is expressed by confessing Christ before men; therefore to be ashamed of Christ and of His word, is to deny or disown Christ and His doctrine before men. There have not wanted some in all times to justify the prudence of concealing our religious sentiments, and to encourage men to live well with... read more
