The first will be last. The last will be first.
In Matthew 20, Jesus tells a story about wages and envy. Then he speaks about his cross. Then he stops for two blind men on the side of the road.
The kingdom does not run on comparison. It runs on mercy.
The workers calculate.
The disciples negotiate.
The blind men cry out.
And the King stops.
You do not need to fight for first place in a kingdom built on mercy.
