When Greatness Becomes Service

James and John come to Jesus with a request for honor before they understand what his road entails. This episode revisits their ambition, the cost inside Jesus’ question about the cup, and the way Jesus redirects their desire toward service. It ends with a more ordinary invitation: trust Christ enough to take the next step, even without seeing the whole journey.

  • How does Jesus redefine greatness through service?
  • What can it mean to take the next faithful step before we can see the whole road?
