Text: Mark 10:35-45

Discipleship Group Guide

We all hunger for glory. God made us for glory--for his and ours. Sin distorted, as it does all things, our desire for glory. Instead of looking for it in God, we seek it out in other ways in which the world offers. When we follow Jesus, we don't just jump from justification to glory. Instead, Jesus asks us, "Can you drink the cup I drink? Can you be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?" He invites us to follow him descending into darkness in order to shine light and bring hope. At death, we do not need to fear, for we will rise with him in the last day and live in his glory forever.
