The Ministry of Our Lord: The Search for Greatness

We all want to be great—to achieve something memorable, to be recognized and honored. Dr. John explores Matthew 20:20-28, where James and John ask Jesus for the seats of highest honor in His kingdom. Their request reveals the human hunger for status and recognition that we all share. But Jesus turns greatness upside down: "Whoever would be great among you must be your servant." True greatness isn't found in ruling over others but in laying down your life to serve them, just as Jesus gave His life as a ransom for many.

The Ministry of Our Lord: Join Dr. John Neufeld for a journey through Matthew 19-20, where Jesus makes His final trip to Jerusalem. The crowds are growing, expecting triumph and glory. But what Jesus teaches is startling: humility over greatness, sacrifice over power. This Messiah will not rule from a throne—He will reign from a cross. Discover what it means to follow a suffering King.
