“Greatness in the Kingdom doesn’t come to the famous, the powerful, or the strong, but to those who follow Jesus into a life of selfless service and radical sacrifice.”
If you dig deep into your inner motivations and desires, what do you find? Many people share the desire of James and John to be respected or honored by the people around them. In this passage, Jesus teaches them and us how to pursue true, kingdom greatness.
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
Christians claim that Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords, and they look and pray for the coming of his kingdom on earth as in heaven. Yet every year that goes by, the world seems to grow worse and worse and drifts farther away from God. Are the people of God naïve or foolish for hoping for a kingdom we can't see? During this series through Mark's Gospel, we will see that God's kingdom is coming and is already here, but it is hidden by the same suffering and humility that characterized Jesus's life.
