"Jesus was going to Jerusalem" - to be "betrayed", "condemned
to death" and to "come back to life" (Mark 10:32-34). Hallelujah! What a
Saviour! "Teacher, we want you to do us a favour" (Mark 10:35) - This
sounds so self-centred. What does Jesus say about this? - "Whoever wants
to be great among you will be your servant. Whoever wants to be most
important among you will be a slave for everyone" (Mark 10:43-44). How
do we learn to live this kind of life? We learn it from Jesus - "The Son
of Man ... came to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many
people" (Mark 10:45). "What do you want Me to do for you?" (Mark 10:51).
Jesus asked this question in Mark 10:36. This time, the answer is for
the glory of God - not the glory of man. Look at what follows this
question - "Teacher, I want to see again ... Go, your faith has made you
well. At once, he could see again, and he followed Jesus ... " (Mark
10:51-52). When we really begin to see things from Jesus' point of view,
we will follow Him. We will look to Him in faith. He will make us well -
"It is well with my soul." This will give us the strength that we need
to follow Jesus.
