About this episode

James and John ask for important positions in God's Kingdom, but Jesus teaches them about sharing in His suffering.

James & John cheekily ask for the most important positions in the Kingdom of God, but Jesus only offers a share in His upcoming suffering. It is to this cup that they, and us, are to drink and be baptized from. Passages discussed: Heb 9:11-14; Mark 10:32-45
