Mark 10:33-34 – “We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.” Mark 10:35 – Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” Mark 10:36-37 – “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.” Mark 10:38-40 – “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?” “We can,” they answered.Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.” Mark 10:41 – When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Mark 10:42-45 – Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Service is the for so much of what ails us Jesus is us to a on life We are called to a of Mark 10:45 – For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Our is Philippians 2:5-8 – In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.And being found in appearance as a man,he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! “In Jesus, God becomes a servant in order to make us servants. That is the mystery of the incarnation.” - Henry Nouwen Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The greater our of Jesus’ love, the deeper our in serving others. “The greatest challenge the church faces today is to be authentic disciples of Jesus — those who live out the servanthood Jesus modeled, not just admire it from afar.” - Dallas Willard
