But Jesus answered, (mother of sons of Zebedee) “You do not know what you are asking. (For her two sons to sit on each side of Jesus in the kingdom.) Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to Him, “We are able.” He said to them, “You will drink My cup, but to sit at My right hand and My left is not Mine to grant, but it is for those whom it has been prepared by My Father.” Matthew 20:22, 23
Lord, just like this mother and these two sons there is so much we don’t totally understand. What this mother was asking seemed so innocent and yet it really wasn’t. There was much she didn’t understand just as there is much we don’t understand.
Thank You for those things that are not a mystery and that we do understand.
We know Lord that You came to earth and died for our sin and we thank You.
We know that You rose again for the grave and are seated at the right hand of the Father waiting for us to join You.
We know that You have asked us to come to You and bring our burdens for Your yoke is easy and Your burdens are light. Oh how we praise and thank You Lord.
Thank You for all we know. Thank You for loving us unconditionally. Thank You for eternal life. Thank You!!!!!
Thank You Lord.
