The Request of James and John
Matthew 20:20-28
The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, "What do you wish?" She answered him, "Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom." Jesus said in reply, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?" They said to him, "We can." He replied, "My cup you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father." When the ten heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus summoned them and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."
WORD - Reflection
Struck word / Phrase - "to give his life as a ransom for many"
In my opinion, if you're not the true Son of God, you would care about yourself but knowing and understanding the life of Jesus, it's not the ordinary thing that you do. He saved us all from our own sins, knowing that weshould be the one paying for it. He became a servant to all of us, giving His life to sinners.
Are you a servant willing to suffer for others or do you want to be honored without paying the price?
What do you think about that? Use this link below as a guide, I would be willing to hear out your sharings.
