Matthew 19:30
The Last Will be First
30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
Matthew 20:20-28
Greatness is Serving
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?”
She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”
22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
They said to Him, “We are able.”
23 So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”
24 And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
In a Kingdom where LOVE is everything and the most aver-arching virtue that can be, then being last is no different than being first...Being great is not different than being not known in a completely Loving Kingdom...And serving is no different than being served...This is what love can do, and this is what true love does....In a Kingdom fully and completely of LOVE, everyone is very much equal in all things, because loving one another is the most important thing that can ever be done...
