"At one time two of the disciples made a request, through their mother, for the two highest places in Christ’s kingdom. When the rest of thedisciples heard of it, they were moved with indignation against the two. They thought that it was unfair for the two to steal a march on them in a place for preferment.
Whenever a spirit of seeking a position for oneself, or a disposition to exercise authority over another, comes into the church, then it is the world, and not the church of Christ."
E.J. Waggoner
