Matthew 20:20-28 | What Do You Want? | Don Romano?

Jesus asks a question that reveals that motivations of the heart. In asking "What do you want" Jesus brings us to a place of acknowledging that we might be expecting something from him that he was never intending to provide. We all have various reasons for coming to Jesus, but Jesus' invitation to us is not that we would get from him what we want, but that we would first submit ourselves to God and then be able to receive the desires of our submitted hearts.   

Jesus is in the business of bringing us under God's authority and changing us, not giving us what we want apart from the change.
