Jesus tells his disciples in this passage that he is giving his life as a ransom for many. But how many of us want nothing to do with being ransomed? James and John ask Jesus to “do whatever they ask of him.” Jesus uses their asking for places of honor in the kingdom as an opportunity to talk about true discipleship, which is seen not in positions of glory, but in places of service. Indeed, for followers of Christ, it is a “race to the bottom” — not seeking to be recognized so much as to be in service for God. We need to be good servants. Listen to today’s message to learn how to be a good servant. youtu.be/y3q1UdU8jYU
