Mark 10:32-45

32 On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus was guided all the time, the disciples were surprised, and later the people were afraid. He again put the twelfth aside and told them what would happen to them. Thirty-three children are handed over to the chief priests and lawyers, condemning them, and 34 people devoted to the Gentiles laugh at him and spit at him. And kill him. He will get up in three days. "

35 Son of Zebedee, James and John came to him. "Teachers," they said, "I want you to do it whatever we want."

38 "I do not know what you are looking for," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or can I accept the baptism of my baptism?"

Jesus said to them, "You have to accept the baptism of my baptism, I have to drink the cup I drink, but sitting on my side is not my gift. These The place is for those who went.

Ten people who heard the news were angry with James and John. 42 Jesus summoned them and said, "You know that those considered to be rulers of the Gentiles are on them, and their senior officials have power over them 43. You are not like this, you must be your servant, 44 should be the first, but everyone's slaves, even the 45 children must be served Not for the sake of service but for service, and to provide ransom.

This is explained by the demands of James and John in a prominent position of their coming kingdom (Mark 10: 32-45). In describing this text, modern missionaries often try to analyze the Bible's story in detail to find the eternal principle described in the story. Modern thinkers try to answer questions. For example, did Jesus tell the disciples what is the universal intercultural truth? Or, what kind of lesson would you like his readers to learn from this story? These questions treat text as a deeper measure of truth, not instantiation of the truth itself.

MARK - For foreigners, especially those in Rome Mark is the gospel of action and often uses "immediately" and "next" to move his story quickly. Jesus appeared in Mark's servant (see Mark 10: 45). Mark's fast tempo approach is particularly suitable for practical, action-oriented Romans. Luke - to talk with a wider range of foreigners. As an educated Greek, Luca writes in the most complicated literary Greek word of any New Testament writer. He is an avid researcher (Gospel 1: 1-4 by Luke), an accurate historian. Luca painted Jesus as an adult (title of 26 times) in order to find and save the lost sinner. This is the answer to human needs and hope (Luke 9: 56; 19: 10).

Mark 10: 43. It is not between you. But if there is power among you, you must be your minister. Mark 10:44 Everyone who is a servant will serve as your servant. Mark 10:45 Even if it is a child of a man, giving ransom to many people is not to serve but to serve.

That is why it is not listed in each text. After three predictions, Mark issued us the clearest statement. Mark 10: 45, Jesus said: "The Son of Man comes not to serve, but to serve and to offer ransom to many people" This is an important core fact of history and life is. Jesus, a noble son of men, a sacred man of God, orders of his father, and a ransom to many people. But listen to Psalm 49: 7-8. "Because the ransoms of their lives are expensive and never enough, no one can exchange for others or give away the price of life to God." Nobody can exchange other people's soul can not. You can not exchange for your own. Then listen to Psalm 15: "But God will redeem my soul from the power of the underworld." People can not. God is
