The Training of the Twelve. Chapter 17. The Sons of Zebedee Again
Description
This episode goes back to the sons of thunder, back to James and John in another incident with Jesus and the rank in the kingdom that they think they deserve. This time, however, their mother is involved. Their mother approaches Jesus and makes a bold request, she wants her sons to sit at the right and left hand of Jesus in this new kingdom. Seemingly both James and John are blinded by their own selfish ambition. This request degrades the divine kingdom it is almost keen to earthly kingdoms full of bribery and corruption. Jesus’ response is asking a question “Are you able to drink the cup?”, and their response is an immediate yes. There will be suffering but there will be glory. We can learn from this that we must ask God for the right things with the right mindset, and if you want to be great in the kingdom you must be a servant of all.
