The Last Shall Be First – Weekly Words Of Encouragement

“But many who are first will be last, and the last first. ” (Mark 10:31, NIV) This is one of the most encouraging promises Jesus ever made. He makes it clear that achievement in this life is not a requirement for everlasting happiness. Many who accomplish great things in this life and receive honor from the world will find themselves in last place in the next life. But many who are last in this life will have the greatest honor and privilege in the next life. Of course, we should pursue excellence in whatever our vocation is, and sometimes we will receive honor in this life. But eternal honor is based on how we follow Christ and follow his instructions for treating others. This life is short and so our indignities are brief compared to the eternal glory God is waiting to shower on us.
