"But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first." Mark 10:31 (NRSV)
Those who live a life valuing money and possessions, status and fame, authority and power are first in our world.
The rich and powerful rule.
But they will be last in the Kingdom of God.
And those who are left behind, forgotten, powerless, and subjugated; who value justice, compassion, mercy, and peace will be first.
