last first


But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
Matthew 19:30

It’s so easy to accept
the world’s order of things
rich men rule
power is coveted
recognition is reward
the weak fail
predatory survival at all cost

None of those is good or right
and all people truly know it
yet we give in
bow to the system
envy the rich and famous
weaken our souls
forgetting there is a bigger kingdom

Jesus turns it all upside down and kicks it far away!

Jesus teaches us to submit
joy in His liberating reverse kingdom
only He rules each heart
humility is noble and noticed
slaves are rewarded ambassadors
the meek are the strong
carrying a humiliating cross… 
counting the extraordinary cost
