Every time the phrase “last shall be first and the first last” occurs in scripture it refers to the fact that one’s position in this life does not give a person an advantage in gaining eternal life or salvation. Every time Jesus uses the phrase, the message is the same. It does not matter who we are in this world or what we have done. Eternal life is for those who believe in Him, who are repentant of their sins and commit themselves to Him 1 Like 1 Share |

you have absolutely no evidence that "JESUS CHRIST Himself" wrote it, your only evidence is that white people came here to enslave and colonize Africa and they used the same trick you believe in today to achieve it. Religion is mental slavery, only fools believe it! 2 Likes |

The summary meaning is just HUMILITY. People tend to carry themselves pompously by thinking they are RIGHTEOUS than others and then assuming superiority to others. By Jesus saying "he that comes first shall become last and he that is last shall become first " then passes the message of ALL becoming humble with what you are gifted or blessed with. Some have wealth and become so FULL OF THEMSELVES. Nebuchadnezzar was an old testament typical example. The Bible said "he was so blessed and greatest among the nations of the earth," but he was proud proud that "he made his wealth by himself" . God HUMBLED HIM by turning him to animal and live among the animals WHICH MADE HIM TO BECOME LAST AMONG THE LIVING. Another example was Jesus himself. He was the greatest among the 13(himself and his disciples) which nowadays we call BOSS or CEO of his disciples. To exert HUMILITY by example, he chose to wash their feet instead. The question we should ask ourselves is this: Does our WEALTH, CLASS, FAME, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SPIRITUALITY, POSITION, STATUS, ENGAGEMENT, GIFT, INTELLIGENT, SMARTNESS, TRIBE, RELIGION, COLOR, COUNTRY, BELIEF, etc make us believe and BEHAVE or ACT as if we are BETTER( GREATER) than others and thus become first? The Bible says, u shall become last instead, but if u HUMBLE yourself and use what u have to the glory of GOD and not ASSUMING U ARE FIRST AND BETTER THAN OTHERS, truly, u shall be made FIRST. 1 Like 1 Share |

Thanks for sharing this OP. That no 2 really got me and I suggest we all meditate on it. Working for the Lord and not walking with God. If u are a prayer warrior and u still harbour evil or hate ur neighbour,pls change. If u are a lady singing in choir on sundays, while on Saturday u go to boo’s house and do d ‘DO’, pls change. Nobody is holy but God, we should strive to walk with God and not just work for God. Shalom! 1 Like |
