I remember when I was a young boy, my father told me about how the Bible said the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. I am certain he explained what it meant to me, but I was terribly confused. It seemed like a riddle. I had no idea what it meant. What does that phrase mean? What is Jesus telling us about His kingdom. There is something about an underdog story that everyone loves. It is innate to human nature. We love David and Goliath. Some day we’ll love to tell the story of how the tiny Minnesota Twins finally defeated the mighty New York Yankees in the playoffs. That is sort of what this inversion looks like. The mighty powerful and wicked who are at the top are going to be thrown down. And the lowly and despised will be raised up. The last being first and the first being is last is God turning the tables on the world. And in our passage today, Jesus gives us a glimpse of what that looks like.
