Matthew 20:20-28

20Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshiping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

21And he said unto her, What will you? She said unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on your right hand, and the other on the left, in your kingdom.

22But Jesus answered and said, You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They said unto him, We are able.

23And he said unto them, You shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

24And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.

25But Jesus called them unto him, and said, You know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Colossians 1:15-18

15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:

16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17And he is before all things, and by him all things are held together.

18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence.

LORD Jesus came as servant to serve. The ultimate expression of His servanthood is to give His life as a ransom for many.

The cross paid the penalty for our sins. Came to give life more abundantly.

Romans 6:16-18, 20

16Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.

20For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

Titus 2:11

11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

1 John:2

2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Romans 3:23-26

23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him who believes in Jesus.
