Drinking from Jesus' cup
Drinking from Jesus’ cup Matthew 20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. 21 And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” On one occasion, the mother of James and John came to ask...

Serving God's grace to others
1 Peter 4:10-11 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Every time people move from one level to the next, they undergo a major paradigm shift to the content of their thinking, a different window through which to look out on the world, a transformation of their basic value...
