What Do You Want?

In Matthew chapter 20, beginning at verse 20, we see a mother with her two sons approaching Jesus, and as the mother kneels before Him, Jesus presents her with a question for the ages. He asks, "what do you want?" And with great boldness, she responds by telling (not asking) Jesus to make a couple of "Kingdom Reservations." Kingdom Reservations...the seats to the right and to the left of Jesus. One for John and the other for James.

I have been wrestling with Jesus' question for the past couple of weeks and have been wondering what my response would have been. What would yours be? And what would your response reveal about who you are?

I hope you wrestle with this question as well. "What do you Want?" To serve or to be served...
