Life of Christ Lesson 116b, c: Crosses & Cups Before Crowns - Part II {Pathway to Greatness}

Selfishness always results in dissension and division, which is exactly what happened when the other ten Apostles heard about the proud and self-ambitious request of the two "sons of thunder," James and John. All Twelve were in dire need of some instruction on humility and servanthood! Thus, Christ took them aside to teach them about true greatness as God sees it, not as the world sees it. He told them there are two ways one can choose to be great: the Gentile way, which displeases God, or Christ's way, which is the only way God is pleased. His way is the pattern for believers to follow. Servanthood and genuine humility are the pathway to greatness before God!
