The Redemptive Power of Self-Giving (Mark 10:35–45)
Doubtless most of us have wrestled at times with wanting to be in the spotlight—with wanting to be regarded as first. When we don’t get it, we are tempted to sulk, or grow bitter, or throw our toys out of the cot—or quit the church. Such a response merely reveals that we have lost sight of the gospel. It reveals that we are focused on self-centredness rather than on what Jesus calls his disciples to: self-sacrifice. The text before us addresses this very matter and functions as a searchlight on our hearts.
