Free Methodist Church Of Santa Barbara

Mark 10:35-45. One of the best parts of the Gospel is seeing the inner workings of Jesus with the disciples. They are, at once, a family and also the beginning of God's people living out a new kind of life together, the church. What is striking about this passage is the type of request James and John bring to Jesus because it is so honest. There is no editing here. They just put out there what they really want. In the ensuing discussion, we are invited into the family to see how they work out what could have been a split in the group.
