Gospel of Mark - On the Way to Glory

Mark 10:32-45 teaches that true greatness is found in service and sacrifice, not power or position, and that the path to leadership in God's kingdom is the opposite of the world's way, "an Inverted Kingdom."

The passage highlights Jesus's third prediction of his coming death and his disciples' failure to grasp the meaning, as they continue to argue about who will be the greatest. In response, Jesus explains that leadership means serving others, and he defines his own mission as "to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many".
