James and John

James and John, Zebedee’s sons, came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
“What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
They said, “Allow one of us to sit on your right and the other on your left when you enter your glory.”
Jesus replied, “You don’t know what you’re asking! Can you drink the cup I drink or receive the baptism I receive?”
What mother isn’t proud of her sons? However, too much pride is never good. Are there times when you have been prideful thinking you were better than anyone else? Do you put others down inadvertently with bragging about your accomplishments? Think of times when you might have let pride get in the way. How can you change that moving forward?
