Even as the journey gets closer to the painful end, the disciples are slow to learn from the example of the one they follow. Jesus has led by serving but James and John (nicknamed “the sons of thunder”) are prepared to take up positions over others if that will be granted. Their mother makes the request creating the storm of misunderstanding and hurt feelings among the followers. Jesus doesn't spare them by withholding the truth even though they don't seem to drink it in fully.
What distant thunder do you hear and is it a storm of your own making?
