First And Last - Mark 10:31

Mark 10:31 ESV 
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

The kingdom of God is different from the world. What is important in the world has no weight in the kingdom of peace. The meek will inherit the earth. Not those who are weak, but those who are strong enough to overcome the world. 

This strength is not our own. It is the power of The Lord that makes this possible. 

Jesus said the one who serves everyone else will be the greatest in His kingdom. This happens when spirit rises over the flesh and the light of The Lord shines brightly in the life of the new man. 

The norm of taking will give way to the joy of giving. The high places and the low places will be smoothed into the level place of a new creation.
