The Upside Down Kingdom: Where the Least Are Greatest
Mark 10:35-45
This week in Mark, Jesus receives a request from James and John. They wish to sit at the right and left of Jesus when in his glory. Jesus wastes no time and setting these two glory hounds straight. Glory is reserved for those who seek glory, exaltation, freedom, and life abundant for those whom it is evasive. In addressing his disciples Jesus said this, “…whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all.” Listen to this message, and unpack Jesus', uncomfortable but poignant language of what it means to be a servant and slave to one another.
