Mark 10:35-45 True Kingship

MARK 10:35-45 True Kingship
Peter Gross

Excerpt

Jesus gives us an example of true kingship, but in our fallen humanity we, like the disciples, respond with three errors. We think we know what kingship means and we import our worldly ideas of kingship into our relationship with Jesus. We think we know what we want, though we are bad at recognizing the true desires of our own heart. We presume that we understand the implications of our petitions.

Instead, Jesus is the definition of kingship and the author of our heart’s desires.
