Description
  • We must have an appreciation for all of God's good creation, and that we are part of this creation. It is up to us to be thankful and grateful for what God has done for us. Jesus' call to hate oneself speaks to an egotistic love of self. There is a right way and wrong to hate and love oneself. Matthew 20:20-28 follows the request of the mother of James and John. To succeed in light of the kingdom is explored. James and John have misunderstood the nature of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom is entered along the pathway of pain. For both brothers, suffering was to be experienced in their future, whether at the behest of Herod or in exile on Patmos. Verses 24-28 deals with the 'promotion principle.' The way into the Kingdom is through heartful, sincere, humility. The men of this world Lord their greatness over others. The badge of greatness for Christians are in irreconcilable opposition to the ideals of worldly greatness. Greatness for Christians involves servanthood and slave-like humility. Like Jesus, we are called to lay down our lives for our fellow brothers in Christ.
