grace and grandeur

Thursday October 25^th, Mark 10:  ³⁸"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"  ³⁹"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, ⁴⁰but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."   Yes the kingdom will be ours with all its glory, grace and grandeur.  It is free, but it is not cheap.  It will cost you your ability to have life solely on your terms, but in the end what you get is life, real life.  It comes as a free gift of God and comes with a life of service.
