As Jesus and the disciples approach Jerusalem, the disciples still have much to learn about the cross and what it means for us as disciples. Here we have a presumptuous request for glory along with a wonderful teaching opportunity as Jesus explains clearly why he came and what it means for his kingdom people. The text is Matthew 20:17-28.
We will consider these five points:
1. The context of the request.
2. The request.
3 Jesus’ reply.
4. The reaction of the ten.
5. The lesson for all Jesus’ disciples.
