Re: Verse reading–Mark 10: 32-45 (day one)
“To sit on my right or my left. . . is for those for whom it has been prepared.”– v 40.
In ancient Greek, heteos referred to “a perfect fit” or “exact match”. In Mark 10, Jesus used it in a verbal form. He said that the seats of honor in Heaven have been made with specific people in mind. They are not “one size fits all” chairs. They are prepared by God (hetoimazo) for people that He desires to honor.
Jesus uses the same word in John 14. “I go to prepare a place for you“. Your new home in Heaven will also be a perfect match for your life and heart. No cookie cutters. Heaven will be a clear, fair reflection your faith.
“The Lord (when He comes) will bring to light the things hidden in darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.”–1 Corinthians 4:5
