Son of God, Son of Man
-
"The divine Son of God, Jesus, was like us in all things but sin, in other words, he had a human nature and experienced human things, but he always did the will of his Father, never had his own plan but only the plan of the Father. ... Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father, and he has reserved a spot for us there with him if we are willing to be obedient to his will for us in our lives. ... Our spot is reserved! Will we occupy it? Will we accept it?"

Power of the Ransom
"Just before [James and John] make their request, Mark tells us that Jesus and the disciples were going up to Jerusalem. Jesus went before them. As they followed him, Mark says that the disciples were both amazed and afraid. Their amazement and fear was not because of the dangers that Jerusalem presented. Jesus himself provoked in them both amazement and fear. "

Can you drink the cup that I must drink?
"'Can you drink the cup that I must drink?' If we are being asked that same question today, I believe that our first and primary concern would be about hygiene. 'Can I actually catch a disease from someone who shares my cup?' ... If you are worried about sharing a cup because it can make you sick, the context of our Lord’s request is far more insidious. Sharing a cup with the Lord can get you killed!"

To Save the Many
-
"The exercise of power to serve one’s ends, no matter how good, is often a bad thing. But worse is the desire for power as an end in itself. ... There is no point in ‘managing’ other people when we cannot even ‘manage’ ourselves properly. And good intentions cannot justify our bossiness; in fact it is a greater corruption to boss people around out of good intentions, because we will then make good look evil, and portray love as something hateful and hateworthy."

What is success?
"James and John ... represent the New Age anyone-could-be-anything mentality characteristic of our times. This way of seeing things encourages unbridled ambition, rivalry and unhealthy competition among people, which we call the rat race. But the trouble with the rat race is that, even if you win, you are still a rat. The new vision of success that Jesus teaches, on the contrary, encourages mutual cooperation and the contentment of realizing that we can all be successful because God has created every one of us for something different."
