An Ill-Advised Argument
It’s tempting to shake our heads in disbelief at the insensitive and childish behavior of Christ’s disciples: as Jesus spoke of suffering and servanthood, they argued about status and jockeyed for positions of honor. Alistair Begg reminds us that we are not so different today, proudly seeking to exalt ourselves rather than offering ourselves in humble sacrifice. Like the disciples, though, we have been chosen by Jesus despite our imperfections, and He will never give up on us.
