This study was done by a faithful woman in Christ named Laura
James and John Mother came to Jesus to basically ask a favor. She wanted her sons to sit on the right and left of Jesus in heaven She wanted them to have a high Position, Jesus. Said You don’t Know what Your asking, Can You drink The cup lam going to drink. That is the cup of Suffering, Suffering is a Christian denying our flesh to serve God and his will, its hard being a Christian it comes with all kinds of trials, Pain But mostly Sacrificing and thats the cup Jesus is talking about
Luke 9:23 If anyone would come after Me he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
James and John wasted to be the greatess in heaven not understanding what they was asking, to be the greatest in heaven is to be a servant for others Just as Jesus is to really desire caring for others and serving them not Yourself that is what Pleases God. being like Jesus comes with suffering and hardships the hardest thing to do is serving others and not ourselves Gods will for us is to humble ourselves and be a servant we are to have to beatitudes ,
Blessed are the Poor in Spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven ,Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth Blessed are the merciful for they will be Shown mercy,
As Gods Children we are not to be like the world But like Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit , Jesus is our role model an how to be a Christian and live for God and his will,
The Son of Man did nat come to be served But to serve so we have to do the same
no Matter What will be in Gods kingdom we must focus on being like Jesus being humble and sacrifice our flesh and desires to be a servant, honoring, and pleasing to God
