Desire of being better, stronger, nicer, healthier: a desire to be recognized: to gain higher position? It seems to me that we are always running after something here. We are running after a certain place in society along with recognition. Obviously, Zebedee’s sons and their mother thought that in heaven it would be similar to this world. That’s why she asked Jesus to secure them a place of honor in the Kingdom. But Jesus explains to them that in Heaven it will be just the opposite to the structures of this world. He said: “whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” It is very important to remember that the more we serve, the humbler we become; the more we give to others, the closer we are to Jesus.
