‘A Lesson For All Of Us.’
Matthew 20:20-28.
a) Matthew 20:20. The mother of James and John and the wife of Zebedee came to Jesus respectfully to ask Him a favour.
b) Matthew 20:21. Jesus wanted to know her request.
c) Matthew 20:21. She wanted her two sons to sit next to Jesus in the Eternal Kingdom.
d) Matthew 20:22. Jesus knew that this request was wrong and asked for the wrong motive so he asked the two disciples if they could drink from the same bitter cup of sorrow that He was to drink from. They claimed that they were able.
e) Matthew 20:23. Jesus affirmed their coming suffering and told them that only Father God could nominate who was to sit on either side of Jesus in the Eternal Kingdom.
f) Matthew 20:24. The other disciples were offended by the behaviour of James and John and their mother.
g) Matthew 20:25-28. Jesus called them all together and taught them about true authority and leadership.

Chris.
Every True Believer needs to live with God given Confidence. We should have Confidence that we are not going to be condemned. We should have Confidence in the Promises that God gives to us. We should have Confidence in our Salvation. This Confidence is not something that we try to work up. It is given to us by the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit.
