Grace for your spirit May 9, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her son, bowing down and making a request of Him.  And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She said to Him, "Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left."  Matthew 20:20-21

James and John, the sons of Zebedee had made it to the inner circle of Jesus' disciples.  As believers in the future of Christ's kingdom, all the apostles hoped they would be an important part of His kingdom.  Mama Zebedee, wanting the very best for her sons, decided to give them and Jesus a little encouragement in the decision.  She didn't know exactly what she was requesting, but she was right there for them.  Mothers praying for their children to be close to Jesus and His ministry is one of the greatest things to be done.  Pray that the children will bear His cross and wear the crown in His kingdom
