Jesus tells his disciples that he will be betrayed, condemned to death, mocked, flogged, and killed, but will rise again three days later. James and John ask if they can sit at Jesus' right and left in glory, but Jesus says those places are not for him to grant. When the other disciples hear this, they become indignant with James and John. Jesus teaches his disciples that the greatest among them must be a servant and slave to all. He came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.

7. 32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were
astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again He took the Twelve aside and told
them what was going to happen to Him.

8. 33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,” He said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the
chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn Him to death and will hand Him
over to the Gentiles,

9. 34 who will mock Him and spit on Him, flog Him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”

11. 35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want
you to do for us whatever we ask.”

12. 36 “What do you want me to do for you?” He asked.

13. 37 They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”

16. 38 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be
baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”

17. 39 “We can,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am
baptized with,

18. 40 but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom
they have been prepared.”

19. 41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.

20. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of
the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.

21. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your
servant,

22. 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.

23. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.”

24. Our God is a serving God

25. God loves you and offers a wonderful
plan for your life.
For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

26. Man is sinful and separated from
God. Therefore, he cannot know and
experience God's love and plan for his
life.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God,” (Romans 3:23)

37. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for
man's sin. Through Him you can know
and experience God's love and plan
for your life.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in
this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for
us. (Romans 5:8)

42. From heaven you
came helpless
Babe
Entered our
world, your glory
veiled
Not to be served
but to serve
And give Your life
that we might
live

43. This is our God, The Servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to The Servant King

44. There in the garden of tears
My heavy load he chose to bear
His heart with sorrow was torn
'Yet not My will but Yours,' He said

45. This is our God, The Servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to The Servant King

46. Come see His hands and
His feet
The scars that speak of
sacrifice
Hands that flung stars
into space
To cruel nails
surrendered

47. This is our God,
The Servant King
He calls us now to
follow Him
To bring our lives
as a daily offering
Of worship to The
Servant King

48. So let us learn how to serve
And in our lives enthrone Him
Each other's needs to prefer
For it is Christ we're serving

49. This is our God, The Servant King
He calls us now to follow Him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to The Servant King

50. This is our God, The Servant King

To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to The Servant King
