James and John wanted first place, but they did not ask Jesus how they might win it, but wanted to be given the first place.

Jesus even though He was God’s Son, left His beautiful home in heaven, and came down to earth and helped people all the time, and then gave His life to save us from our sins, and is now in heaven getting a place ready for all who love Him.

Let us say our memory verse together. “Whatsoever is right I will give you.” If we do all our work gladly and just the best we know how each day, we will be given first place in the hearts of father and mother, in the school, and wherever we may be. Closing Prayer: Our dear heavenly Father help us each day to please thee in all we do.
