Who Is the Greatest? | Mark 9:30-37 with Dr. Chris Croghan & Sarah Stenson

Jesus foretells his death and resurrection to his disciples only to be met with confusion and fear. 

Why did they react that way to Jesus telling them that he was going to be betrayed, killed, and be raised again? 

Then, we get a front row seat to Jesus' reaction to the disciples' argument of who is the greatest where Jesus says the famous line, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all."

Here are the questions Adam and Mason discuss with Dr. Croghan and Sarah:

• Why didn't Jesus want anyone to know?
• Why were the disciples arguing about who's the greatest?
• How can you be first if you're last?
