Passage: Matthew 20:17-28

Date: 25 January 2026

Speaker: David Eastwood

Summary: Teaching can be frustrating, especially when the learner seems resistant. In Matthew 20, Jesus attempts to clarify His mission to His disciples, contrasting their expectations of glory with the reality of His impending suffering and sacrifice. This passage challenges us to reconsider our own desires for status and recognition, inviting us to embrace humility and service as true hallmarks of faith in God’s kingdom.
