When the other 10 disciples heard how James and John were conspiring to secure the top positions in the Kingdom for themselves they were indignant against them. What does Jesus do? He acts as a peacemaker. He calls everyone together for an unforgettable teaching moment, offering both a negative and a positive comparison.
Matthew 20:25–28 The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Listen as Pastor Matt fleshes out this familiar text.
