Summary
When you think about great athletes in the Olympics, you think of people like Michael Phelps or Simone Biles or Carl Lewis and how they achieved such greatness in their lifetime, such athletic greatness and glory. We're going to find Salome who is working on behalf of seeking her children's greatness, seeking glory for her children. Now, this must say something when the boys leave Zebady on the fishing boat and there wasn't any sort of fuss that was raised that really has to say something about Salome and Zebady both that they raised their sons to be people of faith that they were recognizing even if they didn't know the details, even if they didn't fully understand what was going on with Jesus, they recognized his call and they followed and there was no fuss about it and they also must have been sons who were raised in faith because Jesus called them. Do you think that Salome in her motherly love watched Jesus and remembered asking to have her sons at his right and left? Because if you go back to our Matthew 20, Matthew 20 when Jesus said you don't know what you're asking he knew where he would be shortly. And do you think that as a mother, Salome watched the suffering Christ, the suffering Jesus, the man whom she loved and followed and whom her boys loved, whom they spent day and night with, for three years, do you think that she thought of those words of Christ and heard him telling her boys, do you will drink the same cup?
