A spirit of self-assertion, desire for honor, and preoccupation with one’s status is prevalent in our culture—and it sometimes even displays itself in the church as well. Yet under the shadow of the cross, the ugliness of our selfish ambition is revealed. Alistair Begg leads us through Mark 10, where two disciples who requested to be given a position of honor provided a striking contrast against Christ’s servitude and selflessness in giving His life as a ransom for many.
