No Reservations

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him, "Master, we want you to grant us what we are going to ask of you."  And he said, "What do you want me to do for you?"  They answered, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, when you come in your glory."

But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what your are asking.  Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized in the way I am baptzied?"  They answered, "We can."  And Jesus told them, "The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized in the way that I am baptized;  but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant.  It has been prepared for others."

On hearing this, the other ten were angry with James and John.  Jesus then called them to him and said, "As you know, the so-called rulers of the nations act as tyrants, and their great ones oppress them.  But it shall not be so among you;  whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you shall make himself salve of all.  Think of the Son of Man, who has not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life to redeem many."

Mark 10:35-45

"O God, my God, for You I long.  My soul thirsts for You, my flesh faints for You.  Forever to You I belong.  My You bring me home to be with You in heaven."
