Well, actually, I have been asked to write a reflective commentary (paragraph or two) on this passage and as I've never done anything like this before, I was looking for some information that would "jump start" my thought process for this activity. Thank you very much. | ||||||

Hello Silvio, By asking to sit at Jesus' right hand and left, James and John were requesting 2nd and 3rd highest positions in the Kingdom of God. The main point that the Lord wanted them to know is that His Kingdom was the reverse of what they knew of earthly kingdoms. You see, in God's Kingdom, the higher your position, the more slave (servant) duties required: Mark 10 42 But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. 44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." I hope this helps, Pastor Glenn |
