Episode Synopsis

Christ has illustrated again that in the kingdom He has established, the first will be last and the last will be first. The way up is down, and the way to be great is to become a servant of all. Jesus has now made clear for the third time in this gospel that the road to glorification winds through the valley of suffering and death. Would we expect any different for ourselves if we are united to Christ? Since we are to be raised with Christ, we are charged with being willing to share in His cup of suffering as well. Mercifully, however, we are not alone to take this cup. He has not only promised to go with us, but He cleared the way ahead of us as He gave Himself as the ransom for many.
