You Don't Understand

Illustration of Matthew 20:22-23 NLT

Illustration of Matthew 20:22-23 NLT -- So Jesus said to the sons, "You don't understand what you are asking. Can you accept the kind of suffering that I must have?" The sons answered, "Yes, we can!" Jesus said to them, "Truly you will suffer the same things that I will suffer. But I cannot choose the person that will sit at my right side or my left side. My Father has decided who will have those places. He has prepared those places for those people. Those places belong to them."
