Jesus’ Radical Call To Be Served Bible Readings Psalm 22:22-25, Isaiah 53:10-12 Mark 10:35-45, Hebrews 4:9-16 Worship Folder Pastor Paul A. Tullberg Sermon text: Mark 10:35-45 35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached him and said, “Teacher, we wish that you would do for us whatever we ask.” 36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” 37 They said to him, “Promise that we may sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink or be baptized with the baptism that I am going to be baptized with?” 39 “We can,” they replied. Jesus told them, “You will drink the cup that I am going to drink and be baptized with the baptism that I am going to be baptized with. 40 But to sit at my right or at my left is not for me to give; rather, these places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.” 41 When the ten heard this, they were angry with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But that is not the way it is to be among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you will be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you will be a slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” From The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage VersionTM (EHVTM) copyright © 2016 The Wartburg Project.
