Lesson ior January 21: Maiihevr ? 7.0:17 28 S On the way to Jerusalem the mother ol James and John came to Jesus, asking chief places for her sons in Christ's kingdom. The disci- ? pics seemed to think that Jesus P would establish a great earthly 4 kingdom and a.U alike desired high c nohor in ?i. That is why the ten 11 were indignant when they heard the mother's request. They were erring . nd seLiish then because they had Jnot yet learned the nature of tire j kingdom. 1 ketusmg the mother request, , 11 | Jesus improved the incident to give j JLj ; a new standard of greatness.
