00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.459
 and if you want to open up your pew Bible

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:07.379
 to page 1006 and 1007,

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:11.279
 I'm going to read Mark 10, 35-45.

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:17.780
 Jesus has now purposefully made His way.

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:19.280
 He's on His way to Jerusalem.

00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:23.359
 So hear God's Word.

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:26.839
 And James and John,

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:29.219
 the sons of Zebedee,

00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:31.500
 came up to Jesus and said to Him,

00:00:31.619 --> 00:00:33.759
 Teacher, we want You to do for us

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.719
 whatever we ask of You.

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:38.239
 And Jesus said to them,

00:00:38.539 --> 00:00:40.299
 What do You want Me to do for You?

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.560
 And they said to Him,

00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:44.739
 Grant us to sit,

00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:46.500
 one at Your right hand

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:47.739
 and one at Your left,

00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:48.899
 in Your glory.

00:00:49.579 --> 00:00:50.420
 Jesus said to them,

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:52.060
 You do not know what you are asking.

00:00:52.179 --> 00:00:54.200
 Are you able to drink the cup that I drink

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.359
 or to be baptized with the baptism

00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:57.399
 with which I am baptized?

00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.420
 And they said to Him,

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:01.359
 We are able.

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.539
 And Jesus said to them,

00:01:04.579 --> 00:01:05.620
 The cup that I drink,

00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:06.599
 you will drink.

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:08.959
 And with the baptism with which I am baptized,

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:10.439
 you will be baptized.

00:01:10.939 --> 00:01:13.859
 But to sit at My right hand

00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:14.939
 or at My left

00:01:14.939 --> 00:01:16.420
 is not Mine to grant,

00:01:16.579 --> 00:01:18.079
 but it is for those for whom

00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:19.439
 it has been prepared.

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.560
 And when the ten heard it,

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:24.539
 they began to be indignant

00:01:24.539 --> 00:01:25.539
 at James and John.

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:26.879
 And Jesus called them to Him

00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.640
 and said to them,

00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.939
 You know that those who are considered

00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:32.519
 rulers of the Gentiles

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.879
 lord it over them.

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:37.219
 And their great ones

00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:40.579
 exercise authority over them.

00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:46.939
 But it shall not be so among you.

00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.019
 But whoever will be great among you

00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:52.879
 must be your servant.

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.900
 And whoever would be first among you

00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:58.180
 must be slave of all.

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.400
 For even the Son of Man came

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.359
 not to be served,

00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:05.079
 but to serve

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.959
 and to give His life as a ransom for many.

00:02:08.859 --> 00:02:09.180
 Amen.

00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:10.340
 May God bless

00:02:10.340 --> 00:02:11.780
 the hearing of His Word.

00:02:11.859 --> 00:02:13.719
 Now, there are two types of people

00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:14.519
 who populate.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.759
 There are Packers fans

00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.159
 and then there's everybody else.

00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:21.959
 I thought that was going to...

00:02:21.959 --> 00:02:23.819
 I thought that was going to be

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:25.000
 a little more powerful than that.

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.859
 Okay, let's go a little high class now.

00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.459
 There are Grey Poupon fans

00:02:31.459 --> 00:02:32.699
 and everyone else.

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:35.780
 It's a kind of mustard.

00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.219
 Today, what you're going to see

00:02:41.219 --> 00:02:45.640
 is Jesus makes a similar kind of statement.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.420
 There are two kinds of people

00:02:49.420 --> 00:02:51.060
 populating the globe.

00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:55.140
 There are the self-serving takers

00:02:55.140 --> 00:02:59.800
 and the self-sacrificial givers.

00:03:00.939 --> 00:03:02.060
 Two ways to live.

00:03:03.140 --> 00:03:04.840
 There are two ways to relate to others.

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.800
 There are two ways

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.060
 that are in sharp contrast

00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:09.840
 to one another.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.020
 There's the way of the world

00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:12.759
 and then there's the way of the kingdom.

00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:15.900
 Two ways spouses

00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:18.020
 can relate to each other.

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.060
 Two ways parents can relate

00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:20.780
 to their children.

00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:23.120
 Two ways friends can relate

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.240
 with each other.

00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:26.640
 Two ways in which leaders

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:28.420
 relate with those that they lead.

00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.800
 Two ways in which employees

00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.379
 relate to fellow employees

00:03:32.379 --> 00:03:33.199
 in the workplace.

00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.199
 Two ways in which brothers and sisters

00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:37.659
 in the church relate to one another.

00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:41.019
 Self-serving takers

00:03:41.019 --> 00:03:42.319
 follow the way of the world.

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.099
 Self-sacrificial givers.

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.019
 They're the ransomed of Jesus.

00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.319
 And they follow the way

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.139
 of the Son of Man.

00:03:53.419 --> 00:03:54.519
 The difference between the two,

00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:55.979
 of course, is Jesus.

00:03:55.979 --> 00:04:00.599
 So, this morning we're going to look at

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.859
 two sections of this passage.

00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:04.739
 In verses 35-40,

00:04:04.859 --> 00:04:07.219
 we see two self-serving takers.

00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:10.099
 They happen to be disciples.

00:04:12.459 --> 00:04:14.039
 In verses 41-45,

00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.920
 we see one self-sacrificing giver.

00:04:18.860 --> 00:04:19.719
 Behold your king,

00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:22.019
 the Son of Man.

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:24.099
 What kind of spouse are you?

00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:27.740
 What kind of friend are you?

00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.939
 What kind of employee are you?

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.800
 What kind of elder are you?

00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.700
 What kind of deacon are you?

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.400
 Are you a typical taker

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:39.660
 or a Christ-like giver?

00:04:41.020 --> 00:04:43.360
 Let's look at verses 35-40.

00:04:45.140 --> 00:04:46.540
 In these verses,

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:49.720
 we see a very interesting dialogue

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:50.800
 between Jesus

00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.740
 and two of His disciples,

00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:55.819
 James and John.

00:04:56.939 --> 00:04:58.480
 Now, just to remind you

00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.740
 of who James and John are,

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.879
 they are part of the inner three

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.000
 of Jesus' disciples.

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.180
 It was James and John and Peter

00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:08.240
 that Jesus said,

00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:09.199
 come with me,

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:10.819
 we're going to Jairus' house.

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:12.939
 And they watched Jesus

00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:14.519
 raise Jairus' daughter

00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:15.420
 from the dead.

00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:17.560
 Not all twelve,

00:05:18.379 --> 00:05:19.379
 just those three,

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.520
 Jairus' wife in the room.

00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:26.340
 These two were also with Peter

00:05:26.340 --> 00:05:28.900
 in Jesus on the mountaintop

00:05:28.900 --> 00:05:30.040
 in Mark 9

00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.580
 when they watched Jesus

00:05:31.580 --> 00:05:33.639
 transfigured in their midst.

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.700
 These two disciples

00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:40.879
 were part of Jesus' inner circle.

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:43.080
 And so this dialogue,

00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.819
 what we're about to see

00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:47.599
 is all the more audacious.

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:50.579
 But let me give you

00:05:50.579 --> 00:05:51.759
 a little bit more background too

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.139
 in terms of the context

00:05:53.139 --> 00:05:54.740
 of chapter 10

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:56.879
 of what precedes the dialogue.

00:05:57.339 --> 00:05:58.419
 Starting in verse 17,

00:05:58.759 --> 00:05:59.799
 Jesus has this interaction

00:05:59.799 --> 00:06:00.879
 with a rich young man.

00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:03.299
 He eventually tells

00:06:03.299 --> 00:06:04.779
 this rich young man,

00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:06.939
 hey, if you want to follow me,

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:07.459
 you've got to give up

00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:08.120
 everything you've got.

00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:09.779
 This rich young man

00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:11.399
 goes away sad

00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.239
 and doesn't follow Jesus.

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.639
 That's where Jesus says,

00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.199
 hey, it's more difficult

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:18.519
 for a rich man

00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:19.799
 to enter the kingdom of God.

00:06:19.859 --> 00:06:20.259
 It's like,

00:06:20.599 --> 00:06:21.319
 it's more difficult

00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:22.299
 than a camel

00:06:22.299 --> 00:06:23.479
 going through the eye

00:06:23.479 --> 00:06:23.819
 of a needle.

00:06:23.899 --> 00:06:24.719
 Do you remember that statement?

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:28.060
 His disciples are like,

00:06:28.099 --> 00:06:29.339
 well, then who can be saved?

00:06:31.679 --> 00:06:33.060
 And to the good news

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:34.000
 to our ears,

00:06:34.099 --> 00:06:34.639
 Jesus says,

00:06:34.719 --> 00:06:35.799
 well, what is impossible

00:06:35.799 --> 00:06:36.939
 for man is possible

00:06:36.939 --> 00:06:37.599
 for God.

00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.060
 And then Peter says,

00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:40.120
 we've left everything

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:41.139
 to follow you.

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:43.199
 And then check out

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:43.800
 what he says

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.240
 in verses 29 through 31

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.060
 in chapter 10.

00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:49.759
 Truly, I say to you,

00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:50.959
 there is no one

00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:51.879
 who has left house

00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:52.920
 or brothers or sisters

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:53.879
 or mother or father

00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:54.959
 or children or lands

00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.220
 for my sake

00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:57.100
 and for the gospel

00:06:57.100 --> 00:06:58.360
 who will not receive

00:06:58.360 --> 00:06:59.620
 a hundredfold now

00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:00.819
 in this time

00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:02.139
 houses and brothers

00:07:02.139 --> 00:07:03.319
 and sisters and mothers

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:04.600
 and children and lands

00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.220
 with persecutions.

00:07:07.220 --> 00:07:10.400
 and in the age

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:11.340
 to come eternal life.

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.040
 But many who are first

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:13.800
 will be last

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:14.560
 and last first.

00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:15.160
 So Jesus,

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.500
 Jesus has been clear.

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.000
 If you're going to follow him,

00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:22.180
 it's going to be hard

00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:22.860
 to follow him.

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.500
 But there's another piece

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:28.480
 that is before the dialogue

00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:29.400
 that I want you to see.

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:31.260
 They're on their way

00:07:31.260 --> 00:07:31.780
 to Jerusalem,

00:07:31.900 --> 00:07:32.520
 verse 32.

00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.639
 Some of the disciples

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:35.279
 are amazed.

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:36.500
 Others are afraid.

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:37.819
 And Jesus says

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:40.240
 this is his third prophecy

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.419
 of his coming suffering,

00:07:42.719 --> 00:07:43.719
 death, and resurrection.

00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:44.740
 And he says this.

00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:45.279
 He says,

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:46.620
 See, we are going up

00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:47.139
 to Jerusalem

00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:48.000
 and the Son of Man

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:48.799
 will be delivered over

00:07:48.799 --> 00:07:49.839
 to the chief priests

00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.299
 and the scribes.

00:07:52.339 --> 00:07:53.199
 And they will condemn him

00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:53.719
 to death

00:07:53.719 --> 00:07:54.519
 and deliver him over

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:55.279
 to the Gentiles

00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.219
 and they will mock him

00:07:56.219 --> 00:07:57.039
 and spit on him

00:07:57.039 --> 00:07:57.759
 and flog him

00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.399
 and kill him

00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.439
 and after three days

00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:00.099
 he will rise.

00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:00.460
 And so,

00:08:01.420 --> 00:08:02.600
 this is the tone

00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.340
 that Jesus has been speaking

00:08:04.340 --> 00:08:05.580
 to his disciples

00:08:05.580 --> 00:08:08.980
 immediately before this dialogue

00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:10.140
 before Jesus,

00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:12.220
 James, and John.

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:13.240
 And it helps you

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:13.900
 to understand

00:08:13.900 --> 00:08:17.140
 how absolutely audacious it is.

00:08:20.200 --> 00:08:21.120
 Suffering awaits.

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:24.379
 But apparently,

00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:26.879
 that is far from the minds

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:27.939
 of James and John.

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:32.980
 So let's look at this dialogue.

00:08:33.820 --> 00:08:34.740
 In verse 35,

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:37.659
 James and John,

00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:39.200
 Teacher,

00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.720
 we want you to do for us

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:42.960
 whatever we ask of you.

00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:48.420
 It's incredibly presumptuous.

00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:51.340
 It's not even a request.

00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:54.080
 We want you to do

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:55.160
 whatever we want you to do,

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:55.460
 Jesus.

00:08:55.460 --> 00:09:00.259
 It's kind of like this.

00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:03.060
 Let's say I find out

00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:03.460
 that you have

00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:05.820
 an outstanding credit score

00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:06.759
 and you've got

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:07.680
 a credit card limit

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:09.040
 that is through the roof.

00:09:09.220 --> 00:09:10.040
 I come up to you

00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:10.480
 and I said,

00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:11.440
 hey, would you

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:12.720
 give me your card

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.400
 so I can use it

00:09:13.400 --> 00:09:14.220
 for whatever I want?

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:16.340
 You'd be like,

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:17.259
 that's ridiculous.

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.519
 It's incredibly presumptuous.

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:20.840
 It's so arrogant

00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:22.639
 that you would presume

00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:23.320
 upon me

00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.060
 to make that kind of request.

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.500
 They haven't asked Jesus

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:31.160
 what they want.

00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:32.300
 What they're doing here

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:34.060
 is they're asking Jesus

00:09:34.060 --> 00:09:35.140
 for a blank check

00:09:35.140 --> 00:09:36.840
 before they do

00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.680
 the actual kind of request,

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:40.480
 if you want to call it that.

00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:42.560
 What we have here

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:44.980
 are two self-serving takers.

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:46.879
 Two disciples

00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:47.860
 who don't have

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:48.560
 the things of God

00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:49.100
 on their mind.

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:50.440
 They have the things of man.

00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:52.700
 Jesus says in verse 36,

00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:53.280
 what do you want me

00:09:53.280 --> 00:09:53.840
 to do for you?

00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.440
 I would love to know

00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:57.160
 what's going on

00:09:57.160 --> 00:09:57.980
 in Jesus' mind

00:09:57.980 --> 00:09:58.720
 at that moment.

00:10:01.520 --> 00:10:02.440
 Is he thinking like,

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:03.480
 oh, this is going to be interesting.

00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:04.460
 Let's just play this handout.

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:08.940
 We know where Jesus is going.

00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.300
 Jesus is going to teach them something.

00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:15.159
 As a matter of fact,

00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.959
 Jesus asks this same

00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:20.139
 identical question

00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:22.919
 in verse 51 of chapter 10.

00:10:23.459 --> 00:10:24.699
 What do you want me to do for you?

00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:26.539
 But that time,

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:27.859
 it's with a blind man,

00:10:28.359 --> 00:10:28.979
 Bartimaeus.

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:31.679
 And then Jesus grants him

00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:32.399
 what he requests.

00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:35.879
 They're in contrast.

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.220
 In verse 37,

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:43.179
 we get to the actual

00:10:43.179 --> 00:10:45.299
 kind of nature,

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:46.639
 the heart of the request.

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:51.419
 Grant us to sit

00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:52.679
 one at your right hand

00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:53.759
 and one at your left

00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:54.840
 in your glory.

00:10:55.179 --> 00:10:55.600
 Again,

00:10:55.939 --> 00:10:57.299
 do you see a question mark?

00:10:57.460 --> 00:10:58.580
 There's no question mark.

00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:00.179
 This is a demand.

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:06.199
 Give us the places of honor

00:11:06.199 --> 00:11:10.120
 when you ascend your throne.

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.979
 They have a very particular thing in mind.

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:17.659
 They're still thinking

00:11:17.659 --> 00:11:19.120
 that Jesus is going to

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.099
 kind of push out the Romans,

00:11:21.359 --> 00:11:22.839
 set up his rule in Jerusalem,

00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:24.679
 and reign over the Jewish people.

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:25.979
 That's what they're thinking.

00:11:26.319 --> 00:11:28.699
 They're thinking very worldly.

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:29.640
 They're thinking

00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:32.340
 as every other person

00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:34.020
 who doesn't follow Jesus would think.

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:37.800
 They're tone deaf

00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:40.860
 to what Jesus has been

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:41.920
 repeatedly saying

00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:42.920
 all along here.

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.320
 That there's going to be suffering,

00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:46.420
 rejection,

00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:47.500
 death,

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:49.160
 resurrection,

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:51.180
 with persecutions.

00:11:54.040 --> 00:11:55.440
 It appears as though

00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:56.680
 James and John

00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.579
 are seeing Jesus

00:11:58.579 --> 00:11:59.759
 as a means of

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.859
 political fame

00:12:01.859 --> 00:12:02.379
 and fortune.

00:12:04.739 --> 00:12:05.500
 Do you remember

00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:06.579
 last week

00:12:06.579 --> 00:12:07.120
 I was preaching

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.199
 out of Mark 8?

00:12:09.219 --> 00:12:10.359
 Jesus rebukes Peter,

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.679
 get behind me, Satan,

00:12:12.219 --> 00:12:13.179
 for you

00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:14.879
 are not setting your mind

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:15.739
 on the things of God

00:12:15.739 --> 00:12:16.779
 but on the things of man.

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:19.120
 That's what's going on here.

00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:20.620
 James and John

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:22.219
 are not setting their minds

00:12:22.219 --> 00:12:23.379
 on the things of God

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:24.679
 in a suffering Messiah.

00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:25.219
 Messiah.

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:26.519
 They are setting

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:27.620
 their mind

00:12:27.620 --> 00:12:29.339
 on the things of man.

00:12:32.139 --> 00:12:33.359
 They want

00:12:33.359 --> 00:12:36.059
 to be highly thought of.

00:12:38.739 --> 00:12:40.259
 And don't miss this.

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.519
 They think they deserve

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.979
 these two places of honors.

00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:49.899
 They've assessed

00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:50.600
 themselves

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.500
 as worthy.

00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:53.759
 They are

00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:55.460
 putting themselves

00:12:55.460 --> 00:12:56.139
 first.

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:58.700
 And did you notice

00:12:58.700 --> 00:12:59.539
 the ten aren't there?

00:13:00.920 --> 00:13:02.200
 The other ten disciples?

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:04.820
 James and John

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:05.580
 are being sneaky.

00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:08.820
 They're jockeying.

00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:11.700
 Sober, isn't it?

00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:12.399
 When you see

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.000
 two of Jesus'

00:13:13.180 --> 00:13:13.800
 own disciples

00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:14.319
 disciples who are

00:13:14.319 --> 00:13:15.359
 kind of in

00:13:15.359 --> 00:13:17.059
 the inner room,

00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:18.500
 the inner group,

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:20.399
 well, they're

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.359
 seeking to use Jesus

00:13:22.359 --> 00:13:23.500
 for their own fame

00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:24.019
 and fortune.

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.859
 They've got

00:13:25.859 --> 00:13:27.259
 ulterior motives here.

00:13:28.219 --> 00:13:29.059
 And what God's Word

00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:29.679
 is doing us

00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:30.339
 for this morning

00:13:30.339 --> 00:13:31.839
 is God's Word

00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:32.639
 is like this

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:33.459
 spotlight

00:13:33.459 --> 00:13:35.039
 of kingdom holiness

00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.919
 that is shining

00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:38.359
 upon the hearts

00:13:38.359 --> 00:13:39.059
 of not just

00:13:39.059 --> 00:13:39.979
 James and John

00:13:39.979 --> 00:13:42.059
 but into our hearts

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:42.500
 as well.

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:43.279
 God's Word

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.360
 because

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.840
 it's not just

00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.679
 James and John

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.379
 who have a tendency

00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:50.419
 of being selfish.

00:13:51.419 --> 00:13:53.139
 Of seeing opportunity

00:13:53.139 --> 00:13:54.360
 and taking

00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.139
 what we can get.

00:13:57.580 --> 00:13:58.759
 We all

00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.019
 can use Jesus

00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:01.940
 for our own

00:14:01.940 --> 00:14:03.440
 fame and fortune.

00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:03.879
 You know,

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:05.200
 the greatest,

00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:06.860
 most grotesque

00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:08.179
 distortion of that

00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:09.000
 going on

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:09.919
 right now

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.320
 are those preachers

00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:11.879
 of the health

00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:12.760
 and wealth gospel

00:14:12.760 --> 00:14:14.560
 that are proclaiming

00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:15.540
 Jesus in order

00:14:15.540 --> 00:14:16.520
 to line their own

00:14:16.520 --> 00:14:17.080
 pockets

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:18.040
 and to build

00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:19.080
 their own empires.

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.860
 It is wrong.

00:14:25.660 --> 00:14:27.180
 But let's be honest,

00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:30.140
 we all can make

00:14:30.140 --> 00:14:31.160
 Christianity

00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:33.400
 less about Jesus

00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.399
 and more about us.

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.980
 We can see

00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:41.480
 church service

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.819
 as serving

00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:43.779
 in different capacities

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:44.480
 as a way

00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.840
 of being recognized

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.179
 and being honored.

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:49.519
 And we forget

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.539
 the way of Jesus

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:52.759
 which is marked

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.179
 by suffering

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:54.980
 and service.

00:14:54.980 --> 00:15:00.639
 we have this

00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:01.700
 tendency

00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:02.399
 of setting

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.519
 our minds

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.240
 on the things

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:04.759
 of man

00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:06.680
 and not

00:15:06.680 --> 00:15:07.080
 on the things

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:07.440
 of God.

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:10.820
 And in verse 38

00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:11.779
 Jesus won't have it.

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:14.779
 He says

00:15:14.779 --> 00:15:17.960
 you do not know

00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:18.560
 what you're asking.

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:23.099
 they're being

00:15:23.099 --> 00:15:23.819
 presumptuous

00:15:23.819 --> 00:15:25.059
 very arrogant.

00:15:28.579 --> 00:15:29.579
 And he goes

00:15:29.579 --> 00:15:30.379
 on to say

00:15:30.379 --> 00:15:33.500
 you know

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:35.679
 do you not

00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.539
 realize

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:39.219
 are you able

00:15:39.219 --> 00:15:40.079
 to drink

00:15:40.079 --> 00:15:40.399
 the cup

00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:40.959
 I'm going to drink

00:15:40.959 --> 00:15:41.339
 are you

00:15:41.339 --> 00:15:42.739
 are you able

00:15:42.739 --> 00:15:44.179
 to be baptized

00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:45.019
 with the baptism

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:45.839
 I will be baptized

00:15:45.839 --> 00:15:46.239
 with.

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.000
 What he's talking

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:47.559
 about is coming

00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:48.179
 suffering.

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:52.679
 And in verse

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.519
 39

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.319
 they're like

00:15:56.319 --> 00:15:56.939
 sure

00:15:56.939 --> 00:15:59.159
 we're able

00:15:59.159 --> 00:15:59.519
 yeah

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:00.399
 sign us up.

00:16:02.479 --> 00:16:03.699
 Having no idea

00:16:03.699 --> 00:16:05.419
 of what Jesus

00:16:05.419 --> 00:16:06.259
 is talking about.

00:16:08.459 --> 00:16:09.619
 But Jesus does.

00:16:10.939 --> 00:16:12.099
 In verse 39

00:16:12.099 --> 00:16:13.500
 he says to them

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:15.659
 the cup that I drink

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:16.219
 you will drink

00:16:16.219 --> 00:16:17.000
 and with the baptism

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:17.700
 with which I am

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:17.980
 baptized

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:18.840
 you will be

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:19.259
 baptized.

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:19.879
 Do you notice

00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:20.919
 the wills?

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:21.879
 It's future tense

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.759
 it's going to happen.

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:25.919
 James will be

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.320
 beheaded.

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:28.580
 John will be

00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:29.679
 exiled to Patmos.

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:30.799
 Both will suffer

00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:31.899
 deeply for Jesus.

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:33.580
 It's going to

00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:33.919
 happen.

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:35.879
 They don't realize

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:36.720
 what they're asking.

00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:38.279
 Jesus knows

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:39.639
 what lies ahead.

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.379
 But in verse 40

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:43.519
 Jesus returns

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.240
 back to their

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:44.759
 quote unquote

00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.399
 request.

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:45.519
 request.

00:16:47.819 --> 00:16:48.699
 And he says

00:16:48.699 --> 00:16:49.259
 but to sit at

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:49.779
 my right hand

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:50.240
 or my left

00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:50.779
 is not mine

00:16:50.779 --> 00:16:51.179
 to grant.

00:16:53.579 --> 00:16:55.519
 They don't

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.459
 get to determine

00:16:56.459 --> 00:16:57.419
 where they sit

00:16:57.419 --> 00:16:58.819
 let alone him.

00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:00.639
 That's the

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.600
 father's prerogative.

00:17:02.199 --> 00:17:02.779
 It is the

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.240
 father

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.840
 God

00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:04.480
 who is in

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:04.819
 control.

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:05.240
 It is

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.079
 he who

00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.579
 will reward

00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:08.980
 kingdom

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:10.519
 greatness

00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.660
 of which

00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:14.220
 James and

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.599
 John

00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:15.460
 do not

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:15.960
 understand.

00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.960
 So here we

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:19.279
 have this

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:19.859
 dialogue

00:17:19.859 --> 00:17:21.039
 between Jesus

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.220
 and his

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:23.299
 kind of two

00:17:23.299 --> 00:17:24.139
 disciples from

00:17:24.139 --> 00:17:24.680
 his inner

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.079
 network of

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.480
 guys

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:27.980
 and what we're

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:28.460
 seeing is

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:29.119
 they're self

00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.220
 serving takers

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.779
 not setting

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:31.180
 their mind

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:31.599
 on the things

00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:31.920
 of God

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:32.259
 but on the

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:32.619
 things of

00:17:32.619 --> 00:17:32.920
 man.

00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.000
 And the

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.480
 question that

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:36.880
 we need to

00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:37.360
 be asking

00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:37.960
 ourselves

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.740
 is

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:40.720
 does that

00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.120
 kind of

00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:41.880
 presumption

00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.460
 reside in

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:43.880
 us?

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.820
 Is it in

00:17:46.820 --> 00:17:47.220
 me?

00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:50.120
 Am I

00:17:50.120 --> 00:17:51.160
 putting myself

00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.000
 first

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.100
 before others

00:17:54.100 --> 00:17:55.120
 in my

00:17:55.120 --> 00:17:55.560
 marriage

00:17:55.560 --> 00:17:55.920
 in my

00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:56.440
 parenting

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:57.779
 in my

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.460
 friendships

00:17:58.460 --> 00:17:59.180
 in the

00:17:59.180 --> 00:17:59.759
 workplace

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:01.100
 here at the

00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:01.640
 church?

00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.640
 But Jesus

00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:06.440
 isn't done

00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:06.720
 yet.

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:08.660
 He's got

00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:09.039
 more to

00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:09.279
 say.

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:11.600
 And so we

00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:12.120
 move from

00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:13.019
 these two

00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:13.740
 self serving

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:14.320
 takers

00:18:14.320 --> 00:18:14.960
 this dialogue

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:16.039
 now to

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:16.640
 the one

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.539
 self

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.860
 sacrificing

00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:19.759
 giver

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.100
 and what

00:18:20.100 --> 00:18:20.580
 Jesus is

00:18:20.580 --> 00:18:20.820
 going to

00:18:20.820 --> 00:18:21.120
 do in

00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:21.740
 verses 41

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:22.460
 through 45

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:23.779
 is he's

00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:24.039
 going to

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:24.800
 bring this

00:18:24.800 --> 00:18:26.120
 clear contrast

00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:26.700
 between the

00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:27.240
 way of the

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.519
 world and

00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:29.080
 the way of

00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:29.660
 his kingdom.

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:30.779
 Look at

00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:31.360
 verse 41.

00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:32.720
 Oh no!

00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:34.680
 And when

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:34.980
 the ten

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:35.400
 heard it

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:37.240
 the other

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:37.759
 ten find

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:37.960
 out.

00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:38.259
 We don't

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:38.880
 know how

00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:40.160
 but they

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:40.900
 found out

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:41.779
 that James

00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:42.180
 and John

00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:42.740
 have approached

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:43.640
 Jesus in

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.000
 order to

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:44.340
 say hey

00:18:44.340 --> 00:18:44.580
 can we

00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:45.320
 have the

00:18:45.320 --> 00:18:46.240
 two seats

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.940
 of honor

00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:47.380
 in your

00:18:47.380 --> 00:18:47.759
 glory?

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:51.259
 They're

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:51.800
 indignant

00:18:51.800 --> 00:18:52.340
 with James

00:18:52.340 --> 00:18:52.840
 and John.

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:53.960
 We've got

00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:55.160
 a conflict

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:56.560
 on Jesus

00:18:56.560 --> 00:18:57.340
 ministry

00:18:57.340 --> 00:18:57.720
 team.

00:18:58.800 --> 00:18:59.539
 What is

00:18:59.539 --> 00:18:59.720
 he going

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:00.100
 to do?

00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:02.579
 But before

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:02.939
 we see

00:19:02.939 --> 00:19:03.199
 what he

00:19:03.199 --> 00:19:03.619
 does let

00:19:03.619 --> 00:19:04.459
 me let

00:19:04.459 --> 00:19:05.099
 just ask

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:06.019
 the ten

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:06.240
 some

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.779
 questions.

00:19:08.439 --> 00:19:08.659
 Hey

00:19:08.659 --> 00:19:09.779
 ten

00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:10.319
 disciples

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.359
 why are

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:12.659
 you so

00:19:12.659 --> 00:19:13.079
 mad?

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.779
 I'm

00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:16.099
 guessing

00:19:16.099 --> 00:19:16.539
 Peter

00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:17.459
 representing

00:19:17.459 --> 00:19:18.439
 the ten

00:19:18.439 --> 00:19:19.000
 would say

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.939
 it's totally

00:19:20.939 --> 00:19:21.579
 uncool

00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:23.279
 for James

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:24.199
 and John

00:19:24.199 --> 00:19:25.139
 to sneak

00:19:25.139 --> 00:19:26.000
 around our

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:26.500
 backs

00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:27.559
 and make

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:28.160
 their

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:28.980
 so-called

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:29.640
 request

00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:30.619
 totally

00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:31.099
 uncool.

00:19:38.099 --> 00:19:38.900
 But then

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.339
 we'd ask

00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:39.579
 another

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:40.019
 question.

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:43.339
 Guys

00:19:43.339 --> 00:19:43.619
 are you

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:44.220
 so upset

00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:46.000
 because James

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.519
 and John

00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:47.059
 obviously

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:47.599
 don't have

00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:47.960
 the things

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.319
 of God

00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:48.720
 in mind

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.259
 but the

00:19:49.259 --> 00:19:49.579
 things of

00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:49.839
 man?

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:50.920
 Or are

00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:51.500
 you upset

00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:53.460
 because they

00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:53.759
 beat you

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.119
 to it?

00:19:56.500 --> 00:19:57.200
 They made

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.559
 the claim

00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:57.859
 that you

00:19:57.859 --> 00:19:58.299
 were wanting

00:19:58.299 --> 00:19:58.720
 to make.

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.680
 They

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.039
 approached

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.359
 Jesus

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:01.819
 and talked

00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:02.140
 about the

00:20:02.140 --> 00:20:02.279
 thing

00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:02.579
 that you

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:02.920
 actually

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:03.279
 want.

00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:07.539
 Do you

00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:07.740
 know how

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:07.940
 we know

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:08.339
 the answer

00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:08.559
 to that

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:08.859
 question?

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:11.660
 Because

00:20:11.660 --> 00:20:12.000
 Jesus

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:12.420
 rebukes

00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:12.880
 them all.

00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:17.079
 You see

00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:17.900
 the anger

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:18.559
 of the ten

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.059
 was not

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:19.700
 a godly

00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:20.160
 anger

00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:20.920
 but an

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:21.259
 anger

00:20:21.259 --> 00:20:21.859
 from setting

00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:22.480
 their minds

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:22.839
 on the

00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:23.180
 things of

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:23.420
 man.

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:25.680
 So in

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:26.300
 verse 42

00:20:26.300 --> 00:20:26.980
 what we

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:27.420
 see is

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.240
 Jesus

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:29.240
 calls them

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:29.740
 to him

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:30.259
 and when

00:20:30.259 --> 00:20:30.660
 he calls

00:20:30.660 --> 00:20:31.160
 them

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:31.980
 he's calling

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.460
 James and

00:20:32.460 --> 00:20:32.920
 John and

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:33.259
 the ten.

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.400
 He's like

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:34.660
 a good

00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:35.100
 coach.

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:35.800
 He's like

00:20:35.800 --> 00:20:36.500
 okay time

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:36.779

00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:37.840
 Okay team

 up and

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:40.320

00:20:40.320 --> 00:20:41.420

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:42.640
 fight that

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.000
 we have

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:43.259
 among

00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:43.720
 ourselves

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.360
 and let

00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:44.860
 me help

00:20:44.860 --> 00:20:45.580

00:20:45.580 --> 00:20:46.240
 it through.

00:20:47.660 --> 00:20:48.200
 Let's

00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:48.880
 all get

00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:49.279

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:50.320
 same page.

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.019
 And what

00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:52.920
 Jesus does

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:53.800
 is starting

00:20:53.800 --> 00:20:54.080
 in verse

00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:54.660
 42

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:55.460
 is he

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:55.920
 sets up

00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:56.120
 this

00:20:56.120 --> 00:20:56.800
 contrast.

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:57.860
 He says

00:20:57.860 --> 00:20:58.180
 to them

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:58.700
 you know

00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:01.240
 and what

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:01.620
 he's about

00:21:01.620 --> 00:21:01.940
 to do

00:21:01.940 --> 00:21:02.400
 is point

00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:02.840
 to something

00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:03.420
 that everybody

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:03.900
 is aware

00:21:03.900 --> 00:21:04.180
 of.

00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:05.740
 It's an

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:06.340
 observation.

00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:08.120
 It's something

00:21:08.120 --> 00:21:08.500
 that they

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:08.860
 would all

00:21:08.860 --> 00:21:09.240
 say yeah

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:09.539
 that's

00:21:09.539 --> 00:21:10.120
 true.

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:12.420
 He says

00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:13.180
 you know

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:14.100
 that those

00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:14.360
 who are

00:21:14.360 --> 00:21:14.779
 considered

00:21:14.779 --> 00:21:15.180
 rulers

00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:15.600
 of the

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:16.240
 Gentiles

00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.320
 lord it

00:21:17.320 --> 00:21:17.980
 over them

00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:18.779
 and their

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:19.560
 great ones

00:21:19.560 --> 00:21:20.220
 exercise

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:21.340
 authority

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:23.159
 over them.

00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.359
 When he's

00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:26.740
 talking about

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.119
 the rulers

00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:27.439
 of the

00:21:27.439 --> 00:21:27.959
 Gentiles

00:21:27.959 --> 00:21:28.439
 he's talking

00:21:28.439 --> 00:21:29.240
 about the

00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:29.679
 political

00:21:29.679 --> 00:21:30.199
 leaders of

00:21:30.199 --> 00:21:30.679
 the time

00:21:30.679 --> 00:21:31.199
 that don't

00:21:31.199 --> 00:21:31.699
 fear God

00:21:31.699 --> 00:21:31.939
 they're

00:21:31.939 --> 00:21:32.740
 outside of

00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:33.699
 Israel

00:21:33.699 --> 00:21:34.679
 and they

00:21:34.679 --> 00:21:35.119
 lord it

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:35.839
 over the

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.259
 people

00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:37.779
 which means

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:38.519
 it's heavy

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:39.079
 handed

00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.720
 leadership

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.720
 it is

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.459
 manipulative

00:21:41.459 --> 00:21:42.339
 it is

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:42.759
 leadership

00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:43.639
 by threat

00:21:43.639 --> 00:21:44.399
 it is

00:21:44.399 --> 00:21:45.139
 very much

00:21:45.139 --> 00:21:45.879
 self-serving

00:21:45.879 --> 00:21:46.480
 you

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:47.779
 go after

00:21:47.779 --> 00:21:48.439
 you take

00:21:48.439 --> 00:21:48.899
 power

00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:49.560
 you keep

00:21:49.560 --> 00:21:50.000
 power

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:50.840
 in order

00:21:50.840 --> 00:21:51.320
 to

00:21:51.320 --> 00:21:51.900
 advantage

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:52.540
 yourself

00:21:52.540 --> 00:21:54.940
 lord it

00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:55.259
 over

00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:58.500
 and then

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:58.860
 when Jesus

00:21:58.860 --> 00:21:59.620
 talks about

00:21:59.620 --> 00:22:00.920
 the great

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.660
 ones

00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:03.540
 he's like

00:22:03.540 --> 00:22:03.759
 hey

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.519
 it's

00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:05.660
 we all

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:06.360
 know how

00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:06.840
 the world

00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:07.580
 talks about

00:22:07.580 --> 00:22:08.160
 great

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.900
 telling people

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.700
 what to do

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:13.440
 how many

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:13.940
 people

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:15.240
 do your

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:15.800
 bidding

00:22:15.800 --> 00:22:16.480
 how many

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:16.780
 people

00:22:16.780 --> 00:22:17.920
 follow you

00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.860
 both of

00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:21.240
 those

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:22.180
 the rulers

00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:22.539
 of the

00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:23.140
 gentiles

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:23.720
 and those

00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:24.600
 great ones

00:22:24.600 --> 00:22:25.259
 who exercise

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:26.080
 authority

00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:26.900
 it has that

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:28.019
 closes with

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:28.580
 that phrase

00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:29.740
 over them

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:31.560
 top down

00:22:31.560 --> 00:22:35.440
 what Jesus

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:35.980
 is doing

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:37.500
 is pointing

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:38.380
 to the

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:38.940
 current leaders

00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:39.560
 of his

00:22:39.560 --> 00:22:39.880
 day

00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:40.920
 and saying

00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:41.539
 that there

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:42.160
 are models

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:43.300
 of self

00:22:43.300 --> 00:22:43.860
 serving

00:22:43.860 --> 00:22:44.360
 take what

00:22:44.360 --> 00:22:44.620
 you can

00:22:44.620 --> 00:22:44.940
 get

00:22:44.940 --> 00:22:45.539
 way of

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:45.860
 life

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:46.439
 now

00:22:46.439 --> 00:22:47.039
 we could

00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:47.279
 do the

00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:47.479
 same

00:22:47.479 --> 00:22:47.740
 thing

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.079
 today

00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.679
 we could

00:22:49.679 --> 00:22:50.899
 point to

00:22:50.899 --> 00:22:51.279
 the

00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:52.139
 political

00:22:52.139 --> 00:22:52.639
 system

00:22:52.639 --> 00:22:52.939
 of the

00:22:52.939 --> 00:22:53.159
 United

00:22:53.159 --> 00:22:53.679
 States

00:22:54.919 --> 00:22:55.479
 Republican

00:22:55.479 --> 00:22:55.819
 and

00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:56.240
 Democrat

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:57.039
 we've

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:57.279
 got

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.679
 some

00:22:57.679 --> 00:22:58.099
 poster

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:58.579
 children

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:59.639
 for this

00:22:59.639 --> 00:23:00.159
 way of

00:23:00.159 --> 00:23:00.740
 being

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:03.420
 take

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:04.640
 take what

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:04.900
 you can

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:05.240
 get

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.759
 you

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.980
 get

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:09.579
 power

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:10.299
 you keep

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:10.880
 power

00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:11.640
 and then

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:12.039
 you

00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:14.220
 domineer

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:15.900
 to keep

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:16.120
 it

00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:21.220
 one of the

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.579
 things I'm

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:22.120
 grateful for

00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:23.279
 being a

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:23.799
 citizen of

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:24.039
 the United

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.460
 States

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:24.940
 in our

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.460
 system of

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:25.779
 government

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:27.299
 is that we

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:27.559
 have a

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:28.019
 system of

00:23:28.019 --> 00:23:28.460
 checks and

00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:28.940
 balances

00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:31.860
 that are

00:23:31.860 --> 00:23:32.500
 intentionally

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.400
 designed

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.120
 to hedge

00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:35.440
 against

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:35.940
 tyranny

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:40.620
 so Jesus

00:23:40.620 --> 00:23:41.160
 is pointing

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:41.700
 to something

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:42.259
 in their

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:42.680
 day

00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:43.600
 that they

00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:44.059
 could all

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:44.680
 see and

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.380
 experience and

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:45.860
 say yeah

00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:47.120
 we know that

00:23:47.120 --> 00:23:47.660
 lorded over

00:23:47.660 --> 00:23:48.580
 stuff we see

00:23:48.580 --> 00:23:48.880
 it we

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:49.940
 experience it

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:51.039
 for us

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:51.420
 it's in the

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:51.700
 news

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:53.700
 we know

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:53.940
 it

00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:56.360
 but it's

00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:57.160
 verse 43

00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:58.920
 in which

00:23:58.920 --> 00:23:59.360
 comes the

00:23:59.360 --> 00:23:59.880
 rebuke

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:03.120
 but it

00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:03.880
 shall not

00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.759
 be among

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:08.620
 you

00:24:08.620 --> 00:24:11.720
 this

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.380
 take what

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:13.700
 you can

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:14.059
 get

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:14.680
 this

00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:15.900
 self

00:24:15.900 --> 00:24:16.580
 serving

00:24:16.580 --> 00:24:17.360
 taking

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:20.539
 but this

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:22.439
 shall not

00:24:22.439 --> 00:24:23.019
 be

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:24.859
 among

00:24:24.859 --> 00:24:25.519
 you

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.799
 the it

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:28.879
 is that

00:24:28.879 --> 00:24:29.619
 lord it

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:30.039
 over

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:30.939
 domineering

00:24:30.939 --> 00:24:31.899
 kind of

00:24:31.899 --> 00:24:32.500
 kind of

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:33.259
 influence

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:34.259
 by force

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:34.919
 might is

00:24:34.919 --> 00:24:35.599
 right kind

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.219
 of approach

00:24:36.219 --> 00:24:38.899
 and Jesus

00:24:38.899 --> 00:24:39.459
 saying

00:24:39.459 --> 00:24:40.500
 that's the

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:40.899
 way of the

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:41.299
 world

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:43.179
 it's not

00:24:43.179 --> 00:24:43.500
 the way

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:43.819
 of my

00:24:43.819 --> 00:24:44.179
 kingdom

00:24:44.180 --> 00:24:50.299
 it's

00:24:50.299 --> 00:24:51.019
 setting

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:51.740
 your mind

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:52.340
 not on

00:24:52.340 --> 00:24:52.660
 the things

00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:53.180
 of god

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.200
 but on

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:56.519
 the things

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:57.140
 of man

00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:59.420
 it's

00:24:59.420 --> 00:24:59.980
 adopting

00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:00.820
 godless

00:25:00.820 --> 00:25:01.740
 ways of

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:02.160
 being

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:02.900
 to try

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:03.279
 to

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.360
 get what

00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:04.860
 you want

00:25:04.860 --> 00:25:09.200
 and Jesus

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:09.600
 is not

00:25:09.600 --> 00:25:10.400
 simply speaking

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:10.820
 to James

00:25:10.820 --> 00:25:11.220
 and John

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:11.460
 here

00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:11.980
 he's speaking

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:12.360
 to all

00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:12.860
 twelve

00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:14.299
 because all

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:14.859
 twelve

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:15.759
 had set

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.439
 their minds

00:25:16.439 --> 00:25:16.879
 on the

00:25:16.879 --> 00:25:17.899
 things of

00:25:17.899 --> 00:25:18.379
 this world

00:25:18.379 --> 00:25:19.240
 as a way

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.659
 of trying

00:25:19.659 --> 00:25:20.079
 to get

00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:20.579
 what they

00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:20.859
 want

00:25:20.859 --> 00:25:21.459
 adopting

00:25:21.459 --> 00:25:22.339
 worldly

00:25:22.339 --> 00:25:23.019
 practices

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:24.199
 to get

00:25:24.199 --> 00:25:25.039
 the things

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:25.439
 that they

00:25:25.439 --> 00:25:26.059
 desire

00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:26.740
 and they're

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.479
 fighting over

00:25:27.479 --> 00:25:27.699
 it

00:25:27.699 --> 00:25:28.339
 on the way

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:28.939
 to Jerusalem

00:25:28.939 --> 00:25:29.500
 where Jesus

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:29.959
 is just

00:25:29.959 --> 00:25:30.579
 days out

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:30.979
 from being

00:25:30.979 --> 00:25:31.519
 crucified

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:35.819
 I'd like

00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:36.159
 to try to

00:25:36.159 --> 00:25:36.479
 bring this

00:25:36.479 --> 00:25:36.899
 home a little

00:25:36.899 --> 00:25:37.240
 bit right

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.519
 now

00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.319
 there's a

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:41.919
 little repeated

00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:42.579
 phrase in

00:25:42.579 --> 00:25:43.399
 verses 43

00:25:43.399 --> 00:25:44.500
 and 44

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:45.099
 it's the

00:25:45.099 --> 00:25:45.500
 phrase

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:47.159
 among you

00:25:47.159 --> 00:25:49.419
 but it

00:25:49.419 --> 00:25:49.759
 shall not

00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:50.299
 be so

00:25:50.299 --> 00:25:50.899
 among you

00:25:50.899 --> 00:25:51.480
 but whoever

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:51.779
 would be

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:52.659
 great among

00:25:52.659 --> 00:25:53.480
 you must

00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:53.799
 be your

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.059
 servant

00:25:54.059 --> 00:25:54.819
 and whoever

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:55.199
 would be

00:25:55.199 --> 00:25:56.059
 first among

00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:57.319
 you must

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.199
 be slave

00:25:58.199 --> 00:25:58.599
 of all

00:25:58.599 --> 00:25:59.159
 Jesus is

00:25:59.159 --> 00:25:59.799
 not talking

00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:00.819
 about those

00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:01.619
 outside of

00:26:01.619 --> 00:26:02.099
 his kingdom

00:26:02.099 --> 00:26:02.679
 Jesus is

00:26:02.679 --> 00:26:03.199
 referring to

00:26:03.199 --> 00:26:03.980
 those inside

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:04.279
 of his

00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:44.419
 example

00:33:44.419 --> 00:33:46.119
 he

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:46.579
 rebukes

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:46.719
 his

00:33:46.719 --> 00:33:47.159
 disciples

00:33:47.159 --> 00:33:47.459
 for

00:33:47.459 --> 00:33:47.819
 their

00:33:47.819 --> 00:33:48.099
 worldly

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:48.559
 thinking

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:49.139
 and

00:33:49.139 --> 00:33:49.299
 he

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:50.059
 corrects

00:33:50.059 --> 00:33:50.559
 their

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:51.139
 thinking

00:33:51.139 --> 00:33:51.440
 with

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:52.200
 kingdom

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:52.700
 thinking

00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:53.039
 putting

00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:53.419
 himself

00:33:53.419 --> 00:33:53.960
 forward

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:55.480
 as the

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:55.799
 ultimate

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.279
 example

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:56.819
 behold

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:57.099
 your

00:33:57.099 --> 00:33:57.379
 king

00:33:57.379 --> 00:33:57.700
 brothers

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:57.940
 and

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:58.240
 sisters

00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:59.159
 that's

00:33:59.159 --> 00:33:59.639
 our

00:33:59.639 --> 00:34:00.059
 king

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:03.059
 that's

00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:03.200
 the

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:03.659
 tone

00:34:03.659 --> 00:34:06.539
 so

00:34:06.539 --> 00:34:06.700
 what

00:34:06.700 --> 00:34:06.859
 would

00:34:06.859 --> 00:34:06.980
 you

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.139
 say

00:34:07.139 --> 00:34:07.240
 is

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:07.379
 the

00:34:07.379 --> 00:34:07.599
 point

00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:07.700
 of

00:34:07.700 --> 00:34:07.839
 this

00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:08.279
 passage

00:34:08.279 --> 00:34:09.820
 well

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:10.059
 Jesus

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:10.279
 is

00:34:10.279 --> 00:34:10.639
 presenting

00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:10.840
 us

00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:10.980
 two

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:11.179
 ways

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:11.320
 to

00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:11.559
 live

00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:12.480
 two

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:12.699
 ways

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:12.820
 of

00:34:12.820 --> 00:34:13.119
 relating

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.320
 to

00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:13.619
 others

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:13.900
 there's

00:34:13.900 --> 00:34:14.039
 the

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:14.239
 way

00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:14.360
 of

00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:14.480
 the

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:14.860
 world

00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:15.139
 of

00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:15.880
 self

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.559
 serving

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:17.000
 take

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:17.159
 what

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.279
 you

00:34:17.279 --> 00:34:17.400
 can

00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:17.659
 get

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:18.000
 and

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.279
 there's

00:34:18.279 --> 00:34:18.400
 the

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:18.539
 way

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:18.699
 of

00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:18.820
 the

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:19.400
 kingdom

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:20.119
 self

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:20.739
 sacrificial

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:21.480
 giving

00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:21.719
 what

00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:21.840
 you

00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:22.199
 got

00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.159
 and the

00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:24.420
 difference

00:34:24.420 --> 00:34:24.699
 between

00:34:24.699 --> 00:34:25.159
 the two

00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:26.779
 is the

00:34:26.779 --> 00:34:27.119
 son of

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:27.380
 man

00:34:27.380 --> 00:34:28.980
 is

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:29.519
 Jesus

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.480
 he's the

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:31.719
 great

00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:32.099
 change

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:32.440
 agent

00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:33.059
 behold

00:34:33.059 --> 00:34:33.320
 your

00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:33.779
 king

00:34:33.780 --> 00:34:35.280
 He's

00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:40.280
 he's the

00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:45.640
 that

00:34:45.640 --> 00:34:46.960
 lord

00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:47.660
 bet

00:34:47.660 --> 00:34:48.260
 his

00:34:48.260 --> 00:34:49.680
 death

00:34:49.680 --> 00:34:49.740
 enslaved

00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:50.260
 the

00:34:50.260 --> 00:34:50.720
 reason

00:34:50.720 --> 00:34:52.200
 did

00:34:52.200 --> 00:34:53.160
 sons

00:34:53.160 --> 00:34:53.280
 acum

00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:53.620
 the

00:34:53.620 --> 00:34:54.760
 morality

00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:55.240
 ту

00:34:55.240 --> 00:34:55.760
 this

00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:56.940
 nation

00:34:56.940 --> 00:35:00.360
 it's

00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:01.460
 it's

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:01.660
 it's

00:35:01.660 --> 00:35:02.540
 it's

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:08.619
 you were ransomed by the blood of Jesus

00:35:08.619 --> 00:35:11.420
 so that you would no longer

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:14.779
 live for yourself in this world,

00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.779
 but live for Jesus and His kingdom

00:35:19.779 --> 00:35:21.840
 in this world.

00:35:24.099 --> 00:35:25.960
 Which means we walk in His way.

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.000
 The way of self-sacrificial giving of ourselves

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:31.059
 for the good of others.

00:35:31.059 --> 00:35:33.360
 That's what we're seeing here.

00:35:34.699 --> 00:35:38.259
 It's not only the disciples who need a correction.

00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:39.320
 We all do.

00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:45.360
 And unlike the great ones of our day,

00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:51.039
 our King is humble at heart.

00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:53.000
 Do I have an amen?

00:35:56.000 --> 00:36:00.840
 So, have you become a follower of Jesus yet?

00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:04.279
 Have you declared Him as your King?

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.599
 Have you come to see this Jesus as the Son of Man

00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:11.659
 who is totally God and totally man,

00:36:11.759 --> 00:36:13.259
 the Lord of Lords and King of Kings,

00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:17.000
 who is humble at heart and who gave Himself for you?

00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:22.019
 The way to respond to God's love and Jesus to you,

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:23.239
 God's grace to you,

00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:25.599
 is to go all in.

00:36:26.539 --> 00:36:28.880
 To deny yourself, to take up your cross,

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:29.900
 and to follow Him.

00:36:32.940 --> 00:36:35.539
 Don't waste any more of your life

00:36:35.539 --> 00:36:40.900
 for trying to take what you can get.

00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:43.559
 Rather,

00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.019
 come give your life

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:49.199
 together following Jesus with us,

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:50.619
 an imperfect church,

00:36:52.219 --> 00:36:53.360
 seeking to serve others.

00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:55.320
 If you're not a Christian,

00:36:55.579 --> 00:36:56.860
 make today the day

00:36:56.860 --> 00:36:58.500
 that you become a follower of Jesus.

00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:02.240
 Now, if you are a Christian,

00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:05.340
 I'm not sure if you guys know this,

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:07.920
 but usually I write my final version

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.480
 of the sermon on Saturdays.

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:11.599
 So, yesterday morning,

00:37:11.660 --> 00:37:13.079
 I came bounding down the stairs,

00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.019
 and I greeted with Jenny

00:37:15.019 --> 00:37:16.039
 with this question.

00:37:16.759 --> 00:37:17.400
 Jenny's my wife.

00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:22.059
 Jenny, are you a typical taker

00:37:22.059 --> 00:37:24.759
 or are you a Christ-like giver?

00:37:29.259 --> 00:37:30.500
 She didn't miss a beat.

00:37:31.659 --> 00:37:32.099
 Both.

00:37:33.940 --> 00:37:35.059
 How true, isn't it?

00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:38.799
 If I were to ask you that question,

00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:40.719
 are you a typical taker

00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:41.579
 or a Christ-like giver,

00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:43.059
 I'm thinking you probably say,

00:37:43.759 --> 00:37:44.920
 hmm, yes?

00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:51.980
 Christian, have you been setting

00:37:51.980 --> 00:37:53.380
 your mind on the things of man

00:37:53.380 --> 00:37:54.340
 and not the things of God?

00:37:56.179 --> 00:37:57.460
 Have you been taking

00:37:57.460 --> 00:37:58.440
 instead of giving?

00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:02.819
 If Jesus were standing here right now,

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:04.039
 would He say,

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:06.400
 come follow me, brother.

00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:07.539
 Come follow me, sister.

00:38:07.819 --> 00:38:08.039
 Come.

00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:10.539
 Time to turn from that.

00:38:11.799 --> 00:38:12.539
 In your marriage,

00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:18.400
 would you ask your self-sacrificial king

00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:20.960
 how you've been insisting

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:22.739
 on your own way in your marriage?

00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:25.400
 Are you being heavy-handed, wife?

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:27.380
 Are you being heavy-handed, husband?

00:38:28.219 --> 00:38:29.219
 Are you domineering?

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:30.719
 Are you threatening?

00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:33.099
 Are you bowing up

00:38:33.099 --> 00:38:34.539
 to get your way?

00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:37.579
 That's not the way of the kingdom.

00:38:39.900 --> 00:38:41.840
 Confess to your king

00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:44.259
 and to your spouse

00:38:44.259 --> 00:38:47.340
 the error of your ways.

00:38:47.340 --> 00:38:48.700
 But I would urge you,

00:38:49.700 --> 00:38:51.500
 whether you're a husband or wife,

00:38:51.720 --> 00:38:53.480
 begin to think

00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:57.039
 out of a Christ-like heart of giving,

00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:59.500
 what is one specific

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:01.320
 and concrete step you can take

00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:04.880
 to be Christ-like to your spouse?

00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.180
 Can I be candid with you

00:39:07.180 --> 00:39:08.380
 in one way I'm trying to do that?

00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:10.619
 I'm trying to cook.

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:13.240
 Jenny's working.

00:39:13.539 --> 00:39:14.640
 She's a kindergarten teacher.

00:39:15.500 --> 00:39:16.920
 I'm trying to cook,

00:39:17.019 --> 00:39:18.860
 which means I warm up frozen pizzas.

00:39:19.820 --> 00:39:22.280
 But the idea here is

00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.680
 I want to serve my wife.

00:39:25.820 --> 00:39:27.220
 I know what she's going through.

00:39:29.160 --> 00:39:29.519
 Parenting.

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:33.719
 Are you being overbearing

00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:34.380
 in your parenting?

00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:38.440
 Are you parenting by force,

00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:39.699
 out of the flesh,

00:39:40.500 --> 00:39:42.039
 harshness, threat,

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:44.719
 domineering, heavy-handed?

00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:46.840
 It's not the way of the kingdom.

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:52.619
 Confess what your king shows you

00:39:52.619 --> 00:39:53.480
 with gladness.

00:39:53.699 --> 00:39:54.940
 It's his kindness to you.

00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:57.619
 And ask your children

00:39:57.619 --> 00:39:58.619
 as they are able

00:39:58.619 --> 00:39:59.880
 to forgive you.

00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:01.719
 As they're able to understand.

00:40:02.019 --> 00:40:03.380
 And I would just encourage you

00:40:03.380 --> 00:40:07.380
 find one or two ways

00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:08.539
 that you can be specific

00:40:08.539 --> 00:40:09.299
 and concrete

00:40:09.299 --> 00:40:12.139
 in being a giver

00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:13.000
 to your children.

00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:13.900
 Give yourself.

00:40:14.179 --> 00:40:14.940
 Give time.

00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:16.099
 Give your ears.

00:40:16.299 --> 00:40:17.199
 Listen well.

00:40:19.699 --> 00:40:20.699
 The workplace.

00:40:22.980 --> 00:40:24.500
 In your workplace,

00:40:25.420 --> 00:40:27.900
 are you treating people

00:40:27.900 --> 00:40:29.180
 like everybody else

00:40:29.180 --> 00:40:29.920
 in your workplace

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.880
 is treating people?

00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:33.820
 Are you jockeying for position

00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:35.059
 like everybody else

00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:36.200
 is jockeying for position?

00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:38.800
 Are you being harsh

00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:39.519
 or heavy-handed?

00:40:39.700 --> 00:40:41.320
 Are you being manipulative?

00:40:41.680 --> 00:40:42.840
 Are you trying to get

00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:43.760
 what you can

00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:44.740
 when you can

00:40:44.740 --> 00:40:45.880
 like everybody else?

00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:49.099
 Well, I would invite you

00:40:49.099 --> 00:40:51.340
 to open yourself

00:40:51.340 --> 00:40:52.400
 to your king.

00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.680
 open your work life

00:40:55.680 --> 00:40:57.019
 to your king.

00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:00.139
 Ask him to show you

00:41:00.139 --> 00:41:01.280
 areas where

00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:03.220
 you are not living out

00:41:03.220 --> 00:41:04.280
 the kingdom ethic

00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:05.460
 in your workplace.

00:41:06.160 --> 00:41:07.079
 And you might say,

00:41:07.160 --> 00:41:08.240
 well, that's never going to fly.

00:41:08.619 --> 00:41:09.619
 It doesn't matter.

00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:12.400
 This is your king.

00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:12.500
 And

00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:17.039
 his way is the right way.

00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:18.740
 The good way.

00:41:19.780 --> 00:41:20.559
 The kingdom way.

00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:22.779
 So confess your sin.

00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:25.460
 Now you're going to need

00:41:25.460 --> 00:41:26.539
 to probably ask the question,

00:41:26.699 --> 00:41:27.920
 what does it look like

00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:29.579
 for me to live out my role

00:41:29.579 --> 00:41:30.779
 at my workplace

00:41:30.779 --> 00:41:32.179
 as a citizen

00:41:32.179 --> 00:41:33.059
 of his kingdom?

00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:34.420
 That is

00:41:34.420 --> 00:41:35.940
 very fruitful thinking.

00:41:39.139 --> 00:41:40.360
 The question is,

00:41:40.460 --> 00:41:41.199
 do you need to ask

00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:42.179
 anybody at work

00:41:42.179 --> 00:41:42.920
 to forgive you

00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:43.779
 for being harsh?

00:41:43.780 --> 00:41:46.980
 Finally,

00:41:47.980 --> 00:41:51.100
 my brother elders,

00:41:52.460 --> 00:41:52.940
 pastors,

00:41:54.640 --> 00:41:55.200
 deacons,

00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:56.640
 leaders of Christ

00:41:56.640 --> 00:41:57.420
 the King Church,

00:41:59.100 --> 00:42:00.680
 just hear Jesus' words.

00:42:01.860 --> 00:42:02.940
 Just hear them

00:42:02.940 --> 00:42:03.780
 in verse 43.

00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:06.120
 This domineering way,

00:42:06.120 --> 00:42:12.320
 it shall not be so among you.

00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:14.360
 that's not the way

00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:14.760
 we roll.

00:42:16.460 --> 00:42:17.920
 We follow our king

00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:19.620
 and we lead

00:42:19.620 --> 00:42:21.500
 out of the same heart

00:42:21.500 --> 00:42:22.120
 as our king.

00:42:23.260 --> 00:42:23.740
 Servants.

00:42:25.140 --> 00:42:25.680
 Slaves of all.

00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:28.900
 There are two types

00:42:28.900 --> 00:42:29.300
 of people

00:42:29.300 --> 00:42:30.840
 populating the planet today.

00:42:32.500 --> 00:42:33.960
 The ransomed of Jesus

00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:35.440
 and everybody else.

00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:39.700
 And as the ransomed

00:42:39.700 --> 00:42:40.260
 of Jesus,

00:42:41.179 --> 00:42:42.539
 we value

00:42:42.539 --> 00:42:43.720
 what he says

00:42:43.720 --> 00:42:44.900
 is kingdom greatness.

00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:47.420
 It's not in the taking

00:42:47.420 --> 00:42:47.920
 from others,

00:42:48.019 --> 00:42:48.880
 but it's in the giving

00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:49.440
 to others,

00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:50.720
 just as he gave himself

00:42:50.720 --> 00:42:51.380
 for us.

00:42:51.860 --> 00:42:53.860
 We can't shed our blood

00:42:53.860 --> 00:42:54.860
 for people and save them.

00:42:54.900 --> 00:42:55.619
 Only he can.

00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:57.860
 But we can take

00:42:57.860 --> 00:42:58.760
 our cues from him

00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:00.720
 and be like him,

00:43:01.780 --> 00:43:02.539
 serving others.

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.179
 Don't be a typical taker.

00:43:04.179 --> 00:43:06.279
 Be more and more

00:43:06.279 --> 00:43:07.279
 a Christ-like giver.

00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:09.539
 And the difference,

00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:10.219
 of course,

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:12.019
 is Jesus.

00:43:12.879 --> 00:43:13.960
 Fix your eyes

00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:14.559
 on him

00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:16.480
 who gave himself

00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:17.159
 for you

00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:19.239
 so that we could

00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:19.779
 give ourselves

00:43:19.779 --> 00:43:20.419
 for others.

00:43:21.659 --> 00:43:22.440
 Let's pray.

00:43:25.019 --> 00:43:26.059
 Lord Jesus,

00:43:26.259 --> 00:43:27.000
 help us.

00:43:27.179 --> 00:43:27.619
 Help us.

00:43:30.139 --> 00:43:31.299
 We struggle

00:43:31.299 --> 00:43:32.419
 with harshness

00:43:32.420 --> 00:43:33.720
 and being domineering.

00:43:34.200 --> 00:43:34.880
 We struggle

00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:35.920
 with insisting

00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:36.900
 on our own way

00:43:36.900 --> 00:43:38.019
 and you died

00:43:38.019 --> 00:43:39.139
 to rescue us

00:43:39.139 --> 00:43:40.220
 daily from that.

00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:42.119
 God,

00:43:42.180 --> 00:43:43.139
 would you use

00:43:43.139 --> 00:43:44.820
 our church?

00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:45.559
 Would you pour out

00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:47.220
 your grace upon us?

00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:48.400
 And would you

00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:49.320
 make us

00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:50.680
 a kingdom blessing

00:43:50.680 --> 00:43:52.079
 in our city

00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:53.840
 that we would

00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:54.539
 stand out

00:43:54.539 --> 00:43:55.500
 more and more

00:43:55.500 --> 00:43:57.599
 simply in the way

00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:58.460
 we treat others?

00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:00.740
 God,

00:44:00.739 --> 00:44:01.739
 thank you so much.

00:44:02.339 --> 00:44:02.899
 Lord Jesus,

00:44:03.059 --> 00:44:03.979
 thank you so much

00:44:03.979 --> 00:44:05.359
 that you are a

00:44:05.359 --> 00:44:08.639
 gentle and lowly king.

00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:12.299
 We look forward

00:44:12.299 --> 00:44:13.179
 to your return.

00:44:14.319 --> 00:44:15.059
 It's your name we pray.

00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:16.319
 Amen.
