Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
I can imagine Jesus being very frustrated at this point. If there was ever a group of people that should not have been concerned with who was going to get the most stuff it should have been the disciples. To be fair, Jesus does talk a lot about having rewards in heaven. However, I think Jesus would have the disciples worry more about being holy and doing God's work. We, as Christians, have the comfort in knowing that someday we will be rewarded for our faithfulness and our work. But we also have the command of Jesus to do the work. What that means, then, is that we are not supposed to be like the disciples here. They, at least in some cases, were doing the work of Christ to make sure they were taken care of. Jesus wants us to leave that attitude at the door. Jesus calls us to do his work, not to make sure we're sitting at his right and left in heaven. In your faith and love of Jesus go forth and do the work he has called you to do. God bless you,
Pastor Josh
