A Journey Through The Life Of Jesus

Lazarus

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. John 11:45

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. John 11:46

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. John 11:47

If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. John 11:48

Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. John 11:53

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews… John 11:54

Greatness

Desire for Greatness Wired for Greatness

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. Mark 10:32

And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Mark 10:32

Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; Mark 10:33

and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: Mark 10:33

And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. Mark 10:34

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. Mark 10:35

And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? Mark 10:36

They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. Mark 10:37

Jesus James John

But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? Mark 10:38

And they said unto him, We can And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: Mark 10:39

But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. Mark 10:40

And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. Mark 10:41.

But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Mark 10:42

Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. Mark 10:42

But so shall it not be among you…: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Mark 10:43

But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Mark 10:43

You

Greatness is about what you Greatness is not about what you have. Greatness is about what you do with what you have.

Strategic Service

Serving is the pathway to “greatness.” Serving is an exercise of “greatness.”

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45
