...about something.
"What was it that you disputed among yourselves on the way?" Jesus asked.
They didn't have the guts to say it was about who would be the greatest, but Jesus knew. Peter, James, and John had just watched Christ talk on the mountain with two men who had been dead a long time. The Apostles had just seen Him cast demons out of a boy. Jesus told them twice about his death, burial, and resurrection, but they didn't understand. They only wanted to discuss who would be the greatest.
Be careful about judging these guys. We're just like them. We want credit when credit is due. We toot our own horn.
Mark 9:35 And He sat down and called the twelve and saith unto them, "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all."
Everybody should strive to be their best for Jesus and not compete with each other.
Who is the greatest in our church? Its the humble person serving without expecting anything in return. Its the one willing to take last place. Lord, give us that mindset.
