October 17, 2021 Mark 10:35-45 The Request of James and John

This week we discuss Jesus’ response to the request of James and John to sit at Jesus’ right and left in his kingdom. This is the final episode in which Jesus seeks to impress upon the twelve his call to follow him in service to others. We also discuss Calvin’s approach to this passage and the interesting theological implications he draws from it. Finally, we talk about how this theme impacts us in ministry today.
