Jesus said “You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But not so among you." James and John wanted power and glory for themselves and so they asked Jesus to just do whatever they wanted! And what they wanted was to rule with Jesus in his kingdom as his most powerful advisors. But Jesus shows a different way - the way of self-sacrificial love - the way of the Cross. That's what true power looks like. That's true glory.
