In today’s Scripture passage we can find two kinds of wishes we can harbor before the presence of the Lord. The first is the wish of John and James, the sons of Zebedee. They asked the Lord to have one of them sit on the left hand side of the Lord and the other sit on the right side when the Kingdom of the Lord comes. Each one of them wanted to take one of the high positions and sit at the side of the Lord when He would take over the power in this world and become the King. It is such a puerile notion from a spiritual viewpoint because it is so far removed from the will of Jesus, but in a human perspective, they could think like this as the people of Israel, which was a tributary nation of the Roman Empire during that time.
