A bodybuilder in a TV studio kept flexing his impressive muscles until a question came that he could not answer: what do you actually use them for? That scene opens a reflection on James and John asking for the best seats in Jesus’ glory (Mark 10), and on the answer that turns our idea of greatness upside down: whoever wants to be first must be the servant of all.
