We have to be imitators of Christ to resolve conflicts

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In Matthew 20:20-28, the disciples James and John ask for a preferential position in the Kingdom of God, which causes the other disciples to be offended. Jesus confronts them all and explains that in the Kingdom of God, leadership is processed in a very different way than in the world. He contrasts the pride, selfishness, and ambition of the disciples with His own attitude of service, self-denial, and surrender to the Will of the Father. He exhorts them to imitate His generous and selfless way of life, which exemplifies the values of the Kingdom of God. If our churches and ministries were conducted according to these principles, they would be places of peace, harmony, and blessing instead of conflict.

The sons of Zebedee come with their mother to ask for a preferential position when Christ is in His Kingdom and the Lord confronts both them and the other ten disciples who are offended with these first two brothers and shows them that things in the Kingdom God's and leadership matters are processed in a very different way than they are processed in the world.

And it is interesting what the Lord Jesus Christ says to everyone when He calls them to chapter. And He says to them: "You know that the rulers of the nations rule over them and those who are great exercise authority over them, but it will not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant and the one who he wants to be the first among you, he will be your servant. As the Son of Man did not come to be served "and then He continues to develop His thought.
