-
In the church, we often use words like “follow” and “disciple” as if we understand that our job is to keep learning and growing.
-
Heading into this week’s gospel, we are reminded once again of the need to establish the context and remember where we are.
-
In seeking a special place among the disciples, James, John, and the disciples misunderstand an essential part of following Jesus.
-
The problem with James and John isn’t just hubris—but how they want to be better than their neighbors—and missing the point.
-
When James and John request a special place, they make the mistake of thinking they’re better. We must resist thinking they’re worse.
