Lutheran Lens Commentary: Mark 10:42-45

We read this passage as a definitive illustration of the theology of the cross.

Black Church Tradition Lens Commentary: Mark 10:42-45

We read this passage as a clarion call for servant leadership rooted in the example of Jesus Christ. In Mark 10:42-45, we see Jesus turning the world's power structures upside down, calling us to lead not by lording over others but through servanthood and sacrifice. This aligns with our experience o
