00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.679
 So again, the reading will be from Matthew 20, starting at verse 17 and reading through to the end of the chapter.

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:16.399
 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:23.100
 See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes,

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:27.379
 and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him over to the Gentiles,

00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:32.799
 to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:41.460
 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him, she asked him for something.

00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.579
 And he said to her, What do you want?

00:00:45.460 --> 00:00:52.500
 She said to him, Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:56.640
 Jesus answered, You do not know what you are asking.

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.200
 Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.200
 They said to him, We are able.

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:10.599
 He said to them, You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant,

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.539
 but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.

00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:18.860
 And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers.

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.060
 But Jesus called them to him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.480
 and their great ones exercise authority over them.

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:32.620
 It shall not be so among you.

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:36.219
 But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,

00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:39.780
 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave.

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:46.760
 Even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:52.420
 And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.060
 And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside.

00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:00.319
 And when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out,

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.960
 Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David.

00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.219
 The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent.

00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:10.620
 But they cried out all the more, Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David.

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.020
 And stopping, Jesus called them and said, What do you want me to do for you?

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.840
 They said to him, Lord, let our eyes be opened.

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.819
 And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.

00:02:25.819 --> 00:02:33.439
 Okay, well, we're looking at Matthew chapter 20.

00:02:34.799 --> 00:02:38.280
 And it would be great if you could have that part of the Bible open,

00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:39.939
 because we'll be looking at it closely.

00:02:40.419 --> 00:02:41.459
 But I want to start with a story.

00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.299
 We've been, my wife and I, we read books to our kids at night.

00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:49.799
 And one of the books we read to our kids earlier this year was The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.659
 You may be familiar with the story.

00:02:51.659 --> 00:02:56.439
 Maybe you've read the book or at least seen the movie or movies it is, isn't it?

00:02:57.419 --> 00:03:04.519
 And The Hobbit tells the story of 13 dwarves who are on a quest to the Lonely Mountain, their ancestral home.

00:03:05.379 --> 00:03:10.300
 Years ago, the dwarves were forced out by the wicked dragon Smorg.

00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:16.199
 And now they're returning and hoping to claim back their treasure from the dragon.

00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:22.500
 And with the 13 dwarves is a small hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins.

00:03:23.179 --> 00:03:27.599
 Bilbo has been chosen by the wizard Gandalf to be the group's burglar.

00:03:28.859 --> 00:03:37.799
 And towards the end of the book, the dwarves are setting out on the last leg of their journey from Lake Town,

00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:41.319
 which is kind of like a last remote outpost of civilisation.

00:03:41.979 --> 00:03:43.539
 And everyone is jubilant.

00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:47.939
 The dwarves have been treated as heroes in Lake Town.

00:03:48.079 --> 00:03:54.439
 They've been fed and housed and pampered in the most delightful and satisfactory fashion, Tolkien writes.

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:01.099
 They've been provided with boats and rowers and provisions and horses by the good folk of the town,

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.359
 who cheered if any dwarves showed so much as his nose.

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:13.340
 And Thorin, the leader of the dwarves, looked and walked as if his kingdom was already regained,

00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:17.300
 and Smorg the dragon chopped up in little pieces.

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:23.759
 So chapter 10 of the Hobbit closes with the dwarves departing Lake Town by boat

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.180
 on the final stage of their long journey to the Lonely Mountain,

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:31.060
 as people sang on the keys and out of windows.

00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:46.639
 Tolkien tells us that the only person thoroughly unhappy was Bilbo.

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:56.379
 See, as the group's burglar, all the expectation of the dwarves rested on his shoulders.

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.519
 He is the one who must sneak into the dragon's lair.

00:05:04.599 --> 00:05:08.279
 He is the one who must confront the foul beast.

00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.180
 He is the one who must steal the dragon's treasure.

00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:13.039
 He knows what lies ahead.

00:05:13.099 --> 00:05:13.099


00:05:13.099 --> 00:05:15.099
 He knows what lies ahead.

00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:21.140
 And there's a similar contrast in the passage before us today.

00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:29.879
 As Jesus and his 12 disciples embark on the final stage of their long journey to the mountain of Jerusalem,

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:37.520
 the mindset of the Saviour and the mindset of his closest followers are miles apart.

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.900
 We'll come to the disciples shortly.

00:05:40.899 --> 00:05:48.659
 First, let's hear what Jesus says to them to help prepare them for what lies ahead.

00:05:48.719 --> 00:05:52.259
 Look at Matthew chapter 20, verse 17.

00:05:52.259 --> 00:06:04.759
 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the 12 disciples aside and on the way he said to them,

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:13.639
 See, we're going up to Jerusalem and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:21.620
 and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified.

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:24.519
 And he'll be raised on the third day.

00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:28.779
 Now notice several things about these verses.

00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.699
 First, notice the repetition of the phrase going up to Jerusalem.

00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:36.620
 Verse 17, it's mentioned as part of the narrative.

00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.759
 Jesus was going up to Jerusalem.

00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:44.159
 In verse 18, it's repeated again in the words Jesus spoke to his disciples,

00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:46.319
 where he includes them to in the journey.

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.680
 He says, we are going up to Jerusalem.

00:06:48.680 --> 00:07:02.620
 A journey which Jesus first signalled to his disciples back in chapter 16 was soon to reach its destination.

00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:12.280
 Now, Jesus says, and the narrative says, going up because travel to Jerusalem did involve an ascent.

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.780
 Jerusalem was 750 metres above sea level.

00:07:16.779 --> 00:07:23.699
 Jericho, which is where we find Jesus and his disciples in verse 29.

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.279
 Jericho was 250 metres below sea level.

00:07:27.919 --> 00:07:36.459
 So there's an ascent from the last kind of 28 kilometre stretch from Jericho to Jerusalem involved a significant climb, an ascent.

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:45.799
 Secondly, notice in these verses that this conversation Jesus had with his disciples was a private conversation.

00:07:46.779 --> 00:07:52.919
 He took the 12 aside on the way.

00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:54.899
 And said to them.

00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:58.899
 It's a private conversation, Jesus and the 12.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:06.259
 Now, while there's a crowd of pilgrims accompanying Jesus on their way to Jerusalem for the Passover,

00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:11.920
 these words were for Jesus' closest handpicked disciples alone.

00:08:16.039 --> 00:08:19.159
 Thirdly, notice the detailed nature of Jesus' prediction.

00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.319
 Jesus foretells his betrayal.

00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:26.240
 The Son of Man will be delivered over.

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:32.379
 His betrayal to the Jewish leaders, to the chief priests and scribes.

00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.820
 He predicts the verdict of the Jewish council.

00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.840
 They will condemn him to death.

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:46.639
 He predicts the Jews' subsequent act of transferring Jesus into the custody of the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate.

00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.360
 They will deliver him over to the Gentiles.

00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:57.980
 Jesus predicts the cruel treatment he would suffer at the hands of the Roman soldiers, mocked and flogged.

00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.199
 And he predicts the exact method of his execution, crucified.

00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:06.340
 He even predicts his resurrection on the third day.

00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:12.200
 Everything would unfold exactly as Jesus had said.

00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:18.780
 As we see if we follow this story through to Matthew chapters 26 to 28.

00:09:19.100 --> 00:09:22.100
 Every detail would be just as Jesus foretold.

00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:26.899
 And while Jesus knew he would be raised to life,

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.639
 his words here emphasize his suffering.

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:35.120
 All the things that must take place culminating in his death.

00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:38.660
 His mind was set on what he must do.

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.480
 On the extreme trial that lay ahead for him.

00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:48.360
 The way to Jerusalem was the way of the cross.

00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:56.160
 And that terrible purpose weighed on Jesus.

00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.080
 And it's for this that he sought to prepare his disciples.

00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:03.620
 As he gathered them in on the way and spoke privately to them.

00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.519
 He told them what must take place.

00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:11.080
 That's the private conversation he had with them.

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:21.860
 But soon after, two of the twelve approached Jesus for another private conversation.

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.920
 Or rather they approached him with a request.

00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:33.599
 A request that shows their minds were in a very different place to the mind of Jesus.

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:38.980
 Actually in the first instance, the request was made by their mother.

00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:40.120
 Look at verse 20.

00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:44.019
 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

00:10:44.019 --> 00:10:45.240
 That's James and John.

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.340
 The mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons.

00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:55.519
 And kneeling before him, she asked him for something.

00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:59.960
 And he said to her, what do you want?

00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:09.519
 And she said to him, say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one on your right hand and one on your left, in your kingdom.

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:18.060
 Now there's an almost comical ring of truth to this scene.

00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:26.559
 I wonder, did the sons, James and John, put their mother up to this?

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.959
 Or was it the other way around?

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:38.700
 Now my mum's here, here with us this morning, so I need to be careful what I say.

00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.019
 But I can imagine my mum doing something like this.

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:48.800
 She's an amazing woman, God bless her.

00:11:50.560 --> 00:11:52.420
 But my mum has two sons.

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:57.040
 And there is no doubt about it that she is our biggest fan.

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:07.680
 So maybe it took a mother's ambition to egg on her boys to make this bold and brazen request of Jesus.

00:12:11.460 --> 00:12:15.879
 Whatever the case, Jesus treats the petition as coming from all three of them.

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.540
 So in verse 21, he speaks to the mother directly.

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:23.280
 What do you want?

00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.400
 And the you there in the Greek text is singular.

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:27.580
 What do you want?

00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:28.560
 He speaks to her.

00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:32.539
 But then in verse 22 and 23, he addresses the sons.

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:34.879
 The you in verse 22 and 23 is plural.

00:12:35.479 --> 00:12:38.359
 Perhaps he's speaking to all three of them, but I think particularly to the two men.

00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:44.139
 Now to their credit, they clearly had a lot of faith in Jesus.

00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:50.519
 They have full confidence that Jesus is the king and that his kingdom is coming.

00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.519
 They know the outcome.

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:57.620
 They believe that Jesus will be vindicated.

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:05.000
 Their request here assumes Jesus' ultimate triumph and reign.

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:12.480
 And James and John want the positions of greatest honour in Jesus' kingdom.

00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:14.699
 The seats at his right and left.

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:19.440
 And that's what they're asking for.

00:13:20.520 --> 00:13:22.379
 The positions of greatest honour.

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:32.640
 It's a bit like politicians jockeying for ministerial positions before the election has even taken place.

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:42.860
 Perhaps James and John are attempting this backroom dealing specifically in an attempt to get ahead of other disciples.

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:44.000
 Perhaps Peter and Andrew.

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.779
 They want to get their claim in first.

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:57.919
 But rather than immediately give a straight answer, Jesus challenges their question and challenges the ignorance behind their question.

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:00.259
 Verse 22.

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.259
 Jesus answered,

00:14:02.579 --> 00:14:05.399
 You do not know what you are asking.

00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:12.220
 Are you able to drink the cup that I drink?

00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:15.459
 Jesus says to them,

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:16.480
 You don't understand.

00:14:17.779 --> 00:14:23.639
 Now Jesus' cup here will find a couple of echoes later in Matthew.

00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:31.559
 We might think of the cup that Jesus offers his disciples at the Last Supper.

00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:33.199
 When he says,

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.600
 Drink of it, all of you.

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:44.480
 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:44.580
 Jesus.

00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:53.940
 But Jesus' question here in verse 22 is not so much about the cup Jesus offers,

00:14:54.940 --> 00:14:59.440
 but the cup Jesus himself was about to drink.

00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.900
 Can you drink the cup?

00:15:02.900 --> 00:15:04.920
 Can you drink the cup?

00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.660
 Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?

00:15:14.140 --> 00:15:17.200
 This is the cup about which Jesus prayed in Gethsemane.

00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:21.280
 My Father, if it's possible, let this cup pass from me.

00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.899
 Yet not as I will, but as you will.

00:15:26.839 --> 00:15:28.679
 Now, of course, the two cups are connected.

00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:36.899
 Jesus can only offer the one cup because he himself drank the other.

00:15:36.899 --> 00:15:40.720
 But when Jesus asks,

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.720
 Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.319
 He is asking James and John,

00:15:45.539 --> 00:15:47.299
 Can you share in my sufferings?

00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:56.019
 Are you able to do what I am about to do?

00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:59.699
 Notice the question is not about their willingness.

00:15:59.939 --> 00:16:00.679
 He doesn't ask them,

00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:02.319
 Will you drink the cup?

00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:03.799
 It's about their ability.

00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.579
 Are you able to drink the cup?

00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:11.399
 James and John confidently assert the affirmative.

00:16:12.859 --> 00:16:13.819
 Verse 22,

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.179
 We are able, they answered.

00:16:18.299 --> 00:16:22.939
 An answer that betrays just how fundamentally they understood

00:16:22.939 --> 00:16:26.939
 both the nature and the depth of Jesus' sufferings.

00:16:29.819 --> 00:16:32.439
 Now, as events would unfold at the crucial time,

00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.740
 James and John, like the rest of the disciples,

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:40.160
 would prove both unable and unwilling to drink the cup.

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:45.000
 When the chain of sufferings which Jesus foretold in verses just here,

00:16:45.060 --> 00:16:45.600
 which Jesus foretold,

00:16:45.640 --> 00:16:51.120
 when the chain of sufferings began with Judas' betrayal of Jesus,

00:16:52.400 --> 00:16:54.220
 like the rest of the disciples,

00:16:54.380 --> 00:16:57.320
 James and John would desert Jesus and flee.

00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.600
 They couldn't drink the cup.

00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:03.540
 They wouldn't drink the cup.

00:17:06.580 --> 00:17:07.480
 Surprisingly, though,

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.440
 rather than continue to challenge James and John's

00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.420
 underestimation of Jesus' sufferings,

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.019
 Jesus changes his approach in verse 23.

00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:16.880
 He said to them,

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:34.580
 There is a sense,

00:17:34.580 --> 00:17:35.200
 Jesus says,

00:17:35.260 --> 00:17:38.480
 there is a sense in which James and John would drink Jesus' cup.

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:43.940
 There is a sense in which they would share in his sufferings.

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.759
 James, in time,

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.539
 would be put to death by the sword at the command of Herod Agrippa.

00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:52.900
 In his later years,

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.440
 John would be exiled to the Isle of Patmos

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.059
 because of the testimony of Jesus.

00:17:57.059 --> 00:18:05.679
 But Jesus could not grant the places at his right and left.

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.000
 That was the prerogative of God the Father,

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:13.039
 who had prepared those places for the ones he chose.

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:15.299
 Now, what do we make of this?

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:16.220
 What are we to make of this?

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.500
 If Jesus is thinking of his future kingdom,

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.059
 and he speaks of these places at his right and left,

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:27.700
 if Jesus is speaking of his future kingdom,

00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.799
 we might remember his words in chapter 20, verse 16,

00:18:30.879 --> 00:18:33.879
 the last will be first and the first will be last.

00:18:35.500 --> 00:18:36.240
 And so,

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.339
 when we get there,

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.399
 expect to be surprised.

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:43.220
 Those granted,

00:18:43.639 --> 00:18:44.899
 these places

00:18:44.899 --> 00:18:47.179
 of proximity to Jesus

00:18:47.179 --> 00:18:50.019
 may well be among the most obscure of believers.

00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:52.639
 Names we've never heard.

00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:55.159
 The last will be first.

00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:59.119
 Then again,

00:18:59.879 --> 00:19:02.240
 when later in Matthew's gospel,

00:19:02.379 --> 00:19:04.859
 we do hear of one on Jesus' right

00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:06.720
 and one on Jesus' left,

00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.079
 it wouldn't be the two brothers,

00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:13.799
 but rather two rebels and thieves

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:18.819
 crucified next to Jesus,

00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.519
 who joined in with the crowd

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.779
 in heaping insults on him.

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.339
 In any case,

00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:29.359
 while in one sense,

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:30.879
 James and John

00:19:30.879 --> 00:19:31.460
 would

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:33.379
 drink Jesus' cup,

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:34.500
 at the crucial time,

00:19:34.579 --> 00:19:35.460
 they could not

00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:36.240
 and would not.

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.099
 It was given to Jesus alone

00:19:38.099 --> 00:19:39.480
 and he alone could drink it.

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:41.559
 There was no other way.

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:46.379
 With that,

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:47.460
 the private conversation

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:48.740
 between the sons of Zebedee

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.220
 and Jesus

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:50.079
 comes to an end.

00:19:50.379 --> 00:19:51.419
 But for the two brothers,

00:19:51.539 --> 00:19:52.980
 there's an awkward postscript.

00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:55.179
 You know,

00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.299
 like the backroom dealings

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:58.059
 of politicians

00:19:58.059 --> 00:19:59.539
 leaked to the press,

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:01.919
 James and John's private maneuvering

00:20:01.919 --> 00:20:03.220
 soon become known.

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:05.839
 And with all the subsequent

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.480
 self-righteous moral outrage

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.600
 we might expect

00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:10.700
 in Crikey

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:12.100
 or in the Daily Telegraph,

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:13.319
 we have the response

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:13.799
 of the others

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.839
 in verse 24.

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:17.860
 And when the ten heard of it,

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.220
 they were indignant

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:20.220
 at the two brothers.

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:25.200
 They're indignant.

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:26.200
 No.

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:29.039
 Who are they

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.840
 to ask Jesus

00:20:31.840 --> 00:20:33.380
 for these positions?

00:20:34.860 --> 00:20:36.000
 But Jesus used this

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:36.680
 as an opportunity

00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:37.340
 for a lesson

00:20:37.340 --> 00:20:38.319
 for all of them

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:39.180
 on true greatness,

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:39.880
 verse 25.

00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:41.539
 But Jesus called to them

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:41.940
 and said,

00:20:43.100 --> 00:20:44.340
 you know that the rulers

00:20:44.340 --> 00:20:45.420
 of the Gentiles,

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:46.080
 the nations,

00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:47.240
 lorded over them

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.299
 and their great ones

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.460
 exercise authority

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:50.940
 over them.

00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:51.819
 That's the way

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.299
 of the world,

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:53.000
 Jesus says.

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:55.180
 The way of the world

00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:57.100
 is to pursue power

00:20:57.100 --> 00:20:58.120
 and to seek honour

00:20:58.120 --> 00:20:59.660
 and to exalt in authority

00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:00.279
 and position

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:01.480
 and to delight

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:02.560
 in being first.

00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:03.740
 That's the way

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.279
 of the world.

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.180
 The great ones

00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:05.660
 of the world

00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:06.259
 are the rich

00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:06.880
 and the famous

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.539
 and those with power

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:09.180
 and sway

00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:10.140
 and influence.

00:21:11.100 --> 00:21:12.100
 Elon Musk,

00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:14.380
 Jeff Bezos,

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:16.220
 Rupert Murdoch,

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:17.940
 Taylor Swift,

00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:20.580
 Vladimir Putin,

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.900
 Xi Jinping,

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:25.840
 people who can buy

00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:26.700
 whatever they want,

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.480
 people who get to define

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.000
 the narrative

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.160
 and shape the world,

00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:32.960
 people who can control

00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:33.780
 what others do,

00:21:34.060 --> 00:21:34.880
 people who can control

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:35.780
 what others think.

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.820
 They're the great ones,

00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:39.140
 surely,

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:39.980
 in our world.

00:21:41.580 --> 00:21:44.100
 But Jesus completely overturns

00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:45.220
 that way of thinking,

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:46.040
 the way we naturally

00:21:46.040 --> 00:21:46.940
 think about greatness.

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.360
 Verse 26,

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:48.940
 Jesus says,

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:50.220
 it shall not be so

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:50.799
 among you.

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.200
 But whoever would be great

00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.059
 among you must be

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:54.600
 your servant

00:21:54.600 --> 00:21:56.360
 and whoever would be

00:21:56.360 --> 00:21:57.120
 first among you

00:21:57.120 --> 00:21:58.059
 must be your slave.

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.559
 And even as the

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:01.620
 Son of Man

00:22:01.620 --> 00:22:03.860
 came not to be served

00:22:03.860 --> 00:22:04.840
 but to serve

00:22:04.840 --> 00:22:07.100
 and to give his life

00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:08.380
 as a ransom

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:09.500
 for many.

00:22:12.860 --> 00:22:14.000
 The way of Jesus

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.519
 is the way of the cross.

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.740
 And the way of the cross

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:19.759
 is the way

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.619
 of humility,

00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:23.119
 the way of loneliness,

00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:25.440
 the way of service,

00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.379
 the way of placing

00:22:27.379 --> 00:22:28.299
 others

00:22:28.299 --> 00:22:29.700
 before yourself.

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.440
 When Jesus died

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:34.119
 on the cross,

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:35.339
 he did so

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:37.160
 to give his life

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.579
 as a ransom

00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:39.799
 for many.

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:41.900
 One

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:43.980
 for many.

00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:47.860
 The language

00:22:47.860 --> 00:22:48.360
 of many

00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:49.039
 here

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:50.240
 is not to suggest

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:50.779
 a limit

00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:52.000
 in Christ's death,

00:22:52.140 --> 00:22:53.240
 many rather than all,

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:54.980
 but rather is an allusion

00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:56.620
 to Isaiah chapter 53.

00:22:57.860 --> 00:22:59.120
 Isaiah chapter 53

00:22:59.120 --> 00:23:00.140
 is a prophecy

00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:01.720
 about the suffering servant,

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:02.900
 the servant of the Lord.

00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:04.259
 And we read

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:05.240
 in Isaiah 53,

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:06.480
 my righteous servant

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.059
 will justify many

00:23:08.059 --> 00:23:09.539
 and he will bear

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:10.420
 their iniquities.

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:12.200
 Therefore,

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:13.299
 I will give him

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:13.819
 a portion

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:14.860
 among the great

00:23:14.860 --> 00:23:17.940
 because he poured

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:18.860
 out his life

00:23:18.860 --> 00:23:19.759
 unto death

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.640
 for he bore

00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:21.160
 the sin

00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:21.759
 of many.

00:23:24.120 --> 00:23:25.420
 Jesus is the greatest

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:26.080
 in the kingdom

00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:26.660
 of God

00:23:26.660 --> 00:23:27.539
 because he did

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:28.259
 what no other

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:29.059
 could do.

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:31.420
 He gave his life

00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:32.000
 as a ransom,

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:33.799
 his life

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.380
 in exchange

00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:35.019
 for ours.

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.519
 He bore

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:36.900
 the sin

00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:37.279
 of many.

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:38.840
 He suffered

00:23:38.840 --> 00:23:39.340
 the penalty

00:23:39.340 --> 00:23:40.120
 for our sins.

00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:41.019
 He suffered

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:41.519
 the wrath

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:42.019
 of God

00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:42.919
 in our place.

00:23:43.419 --> 00:23:44.259
 That's the cup

00:23:44.259 --> 00:23:45.019
 he drank

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:46.719
 which we

00:23:46.719 --> 00:23:48.539
 cannot drink.

00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:50.539
 Indeed,

00:23:51.019 --> 00:23:52.479
 that was the purpose

00:23:52.479 --> 00:23:53.539
 of his sacrifice.

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.919
 That is the cup

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:57.819
 that he drank

00:23:57.819 --> 00:24:00.419
 so that

00:24:00.419 --> 00:24:01.719
 we would not

00:24:01.719 --> 00:24:02.299
 drink it.

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:05.500
 he suffered

00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:06.180
 in our place

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:06.700
 the righteous

00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:07.579
 for the unrighteous,

00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:08.059
 the son

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:08.700
 of man

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:10.539
 for the sons

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:10.960
 and daughters

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:11.460
 of men.

00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:14.700
 To quote

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:15.240
 an old hymn,

00:24:15.639 --> 00:24:15.940
 I wonder

00:24:15.940 --> 00:24:16.559
 if any

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:16.960
 of you

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:18.419
 will recognise

00:24:18.419 --> 00:24:18.759
 it.

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.240
 It's one

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:20.940
 of my favourites.

00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:24.279
 death

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:25.860
 and the curse

00:24:25.860 --> 00:24:26.920
 were in our cup

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.960
 our cup.

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:30.180
 O Christ

00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:30.940
 t'was full

00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:31.600
 for thee

00:24:31.600 --> 00:24:34.320
 but thou

00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:35.340
 hast drained

00:24:35.340 --> 00:24:36.200
 the last

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:37.200
 dark drop

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:39.519
 tis empty

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:40.360
 now for me

00:24:40.360 --> 00:24:43.080
 that bitter cup

00:24:43.080 --> 00:24:44.400
 love drank

00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:44.799
 it up

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.440
 now blessings

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.259
 draft

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.059
 for me.

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:52.559
 You cannot

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:53.480
 drink the cup.

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.859
 You don't

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:55.419
 need

00:24:55.419 --> 00:24:56.379
 to drink

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:56.919
 the cup.

00:24:57.139 --> 00:24:57.740
 He drained

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:58.379
 it for you.

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:01.279
 You cannot

00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:02.000
 drink the cup

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.899
 and yet

00:25:06.899 --> 00:25:07.279
 you will

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.960
 drink the cup.

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:09.960
 That's

00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:10.200
 Jesus'

00:25:10.399 --> 00:25:10.700
 word to

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:11.159
 James and

00:25:11.159 --> 00:25:11.440
 John,

00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:11.919
 the sons

00:25:11.919 --> 00:25:12.519
 of Zebedee.

00:25:12.899 --> 00:25:13.359
 For although

00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:14.159
 we could not

00:25:14.159 --> 00:25:14.879
 go to the

00:25:14.879 --> 00:25:15.339
 cross,

00:25:17.419 --> 00:25:17.700
 Jesus

00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:18.179
 nevertheless

00:25:18.179 --> 00:25:18.940
 calls us

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:20.160
 to carry

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:20.840
 our cross.

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:22.759
 We could

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.400
 not offer

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:24.259
 Christ's

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:24.779
 sacrifice

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:26.920
 but he

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:27.460
 does call

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:28.059
 us to

00:25:28.059 --> 00:25:29.000
 imitate

00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:29.720
 his

00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:30.320
 sacrifice.

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:32.400
 See,

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:32.740
 the way

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.019
 of the

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:33.380
 cross

00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:34.160
 is both

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:34.720
 a way

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:35.200
 Jesus

00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:35.980
 must walk

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.400
 alone

00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:37.460
 and a

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:38.019
 way in

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:38.420
 which we

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:38.860
 follow.

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.720
 And if

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:41.140
 you want

00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:41.759
 greatness

00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.340
 then let

00:25:44.340 --> 00:25:45.160
 Jesus show

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:45.580
 you what

00:25:45.580 --> 00:25:45.860
 true

00:25:45.860 --> 00:25:46.240

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:46.720

00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:48.319
 true

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:48.720
 greatness

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:49.400

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:49.039

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:50.299
 and status

00:25:50.299 --> 00:25:50.900
 and riches

00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:51.380
 and honour

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:52.019
 and power.

00:25:53.100 --> 00:25:53.319
 True

00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:53.759
 greatness

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.220
 acts of

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:57.579
 service

00:25:57.579 --> 00:25:58.160
 of others.

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:01.319
 True

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:01.620
 greatness

00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:02.160

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.279
 in kind

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:04.880

00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:06.200
 spoken to

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:06.680
 the lonely.

00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:09.380
 It's found

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:10.140
 in hospitality

00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:11.420
 offered to

00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:11.960
 a stranger.

00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.039
 nature.

00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:14.299
 It's found

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:15.140

00:26:15.740 --> 00:26:16.200
 a difficult

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:16.720
 child.

00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:18.880
 It's found

00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:19.299
 in loving

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:20.000
 care offered

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:20.360
 to the

00:26:20.360 --> 00:26:20.980
 sick and

00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:21.480
 ageing.

00:26:22.100 --> 00:26:22.720
 That's

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.100
 where true

00:26:23.100 --> 00:26:23.420
 greatness

00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:24.000
 is found.

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:26.000
 We

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:27.840
 cannot be

00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:28.600
 the saviour

00:26:28.600 --> 00:26:30.819
 but we

00:26:30.819 --> 00:26:32.000
 are like

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.980
 our saviour

00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:34.039
 when we

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:34.420
 live for

00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:34.860
 others and

00:26:34.860 --> 00:26:35.160
 not for

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:35.620
 ourselves.

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:39.239
 Let me

00:26:39.239 --> 00:26:39.659
 share with

 the

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.259

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:47.599
 lost

00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:51.200
 later

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:51.559
 died.

00:28:51.740 --> 00:28:59.920
 God

00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:00.299
 calls

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:11.440
 But

 however

00:29:11.779 --> 00:29:12.240
 humble

00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:12.559

 his

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.700
 We

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:23.000
 are not

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.299

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:32.019
 that's

 the first

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:34.559
 made of

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.279
 journey.

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:39.259
 There's a

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:40.059
 second request

00:36:28.259 --> 00:36:28.539
 gave

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:28.719
 her

00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:29.019
 life

00:36:29.019 --> 00:36:29.139

00:36:29.279 --> 00:36:29.659
 children

00:36:29.659 --> 00:36:32.340
 when

00:36:32.340 --> 00:36:32.480
 we

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:32.639
 think

00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:32.759
 of

00:36:32.759 --> 00:36:32.980
 such

00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:33.480
 examples

00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:33.699
 of

 humility

00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:34.679
 and

00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:35.139
 service

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:35.639
 we

00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:35.900
 do

00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:36.179
 want

00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:36.299
 to

00:36:36.299 --> 00:36:36.420
 be

00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:36.679
 like

00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:36.940
 them

00:36:36.940 --> 00:36:39.199
 that

00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:39.380
 is

00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:39.579
 what

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:39.759
 we

00:36:39.759 --> 00:36:40.239
 desire

00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:42.859
 so

00:36:42.859 --> 00:36:43.159
 take

00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:43.399
 away

00:36:43.399 --> 00:36:43.619
 from

00:36:43.619 --> 00:36:43.799
 us

00:36:43.799 --> 00:36:44.099
 every

00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:44.599
 selfish

00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:45.139
 ambition

00:36:45.139 --> 00:36:45.419
 and

00:36:45.419 --> 00:36:45.979
 inclination

00:36:45.979 --> 00:36:46.319
 and

00:36:46.319 --> 00:36:46.599
 grow

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:46.799
 us

00:36:46.799 --> 00:36:46.939
 in

00:36:46.939 --> 00:36:47.379
 humility

00:36:47.379 --> 00:36:48.199

00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:48.519
 lead

00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:48.759
 us

00:36:48.759 --> 00:36:48.979

 pray

00:36:52.359 --> 00:36:53.439
