He Who Is Last Shall Be First
Camila Farah
The circumstances of the parable necessitate this change.
Many fill out the application but few meet the requirements to get the job. So the last etc. Salvation or eternal life is not earned by one s status in this life. He had obeyed every one of the ten commandments except the last.
Those who came after them being preferred before them. Then he said but many who are first will be last and many who are last will be first verse 30. And yet possibly both the first and the last may be saved though with different degrees of glory. But many that are first shall be last.
And the last shall be first. Tragically his wealth and power meant more to him than god. 16 so the last shall be first and the first last. And last first here it is the last shall be first and the first last.
