Mark 10:35-45 | October 13, 2021

Those wild Zebedee brothers! This week, Jaime and Francisco look at Mark 10:35-45 for the 21st Sunday after Pentecost. In this gospel passage, the Sons of Thunder, James and John Zebedee jockey for position as Jesus heads to his "glory."

Jesus to Boanerges: "Oh, guys, when I was talking about glory earlier, I didn't mean THAT kind of ... oh, nevermind. You'll find out one day."

Jesus is not about dominating power like the Romans and other tyrants. Jesus, in his flipped-script version of reality (aka, the reign of God,) is instead about love, justice and the power of nonviolence. If you want to hang with Jesus (pun intended,) and be a leader in his movement, you'll need to get with the way of nonviolence and be ready to serve and suffer with him.
