Introduction
Exposition 1
I. Jesus had specific knowledge of His death and ressurection.
He knew he would be condemned by both the Jews and the Gentiles
He knew what would happen leading up to His death
He knew how He would die
He knew death would not hold Him
In previous passages
He knew he would be betrayed
He knew he would die in Jerusalem
Exposition 2
Kneeling signified kingship/messiahship, not necessarily diety
They are asking for position, privilege, authority, and wealth
“In your kingdom” refers to the eschatological kingdom
explain...
They think they know what they are asking but as Jesus tells them, they don’t.
To ask to rule with King Jesus, they are asking to get there with Him and partake in His suffering.
James - fist apostolic martyr
John - live out a life in exile
Before we move on I want to look at an implication of the text...
II.
Position in the kingdom has been designed by God the Father
Exposition 3
“lord it over them” does not have a negative connotation
“‘lord it over’ gives a false impression.
Jesus is not criticizing abuse of power in political structures — the verb never has that meaning (…) and should be translated ‘exercise lordship over,’ parallel to ‘exercise authority over’ in the next line” D.A. Carson (EBC)
III.
Leadership in the kingdom is radically different than the world’s.
Leader = Servant
Another way to say it is “greatness among Jesus’ disciples is based on service” (Carson)
Slaves becoming rulers
Exposition 4
This verse is full of teaching
“Son of Man came” signifies pre-existence
Why did He come?
to serve (and He is the King of kings and Lord of lords)
How would He “serve?”
Primarily through His substitutionary death
ransom lytron = purchase price for freeing slaves
explain substitution…
explain many…
IV.
Jesus’ ultimate service as King is to ransom many
