Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 20:23

Matthew 20:23 I. These words contain, first, the principle that some will be nearer Christ than others in the heavenly kingdom. The words of our Lord do not merely imply, by the absence of all hint, that these men's petition was impossible, the existence of degrees among the subjects of His heavenly kingdom, but articulately affirm that such variety is provided for by the preparation of the Father.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 20:27

Matthew 20:27 I. The answer of our Lord is entirely at variance with the law of the children of this world. Greatness in this world is universally sought by exalting a man's self; more wealth, more power, more esteem among men, a grander display and more profuse luxuries these are landmarks in the world's path to greatness. And no wonder, for the world is naturally selfish, and all its practice, however varnished over by civilization and religion, is but refined selfishness still. It is not... read more

Matthew 20:20-28Then came to Him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons. Nearest to ChristChrist does not put aside the granting of places at His right and left hand as not being within His province, but states the principles and conditions on which He does make such a grant. Again, our Lord does not put aside the prayer of His apostles as if they were seeking an impossible thing. He does not say, “You are asking what cannot be.” He does say, “There are men for whom it is prepared of My... read more
