“But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
The reason we have to follow Jesus is that he keeps moving.
Don’t get stuck in the same place. You might have penned Jesus in to your own set of beliefs, but he isn’t going to stay there. He’s going to move on. And so should you. Follow him.
Social media often glorifies a life brimming with followers and the pursuit of influencers, presenting it as the epitome of success. Yet, Jesus introduces a profound reversal of this narrative. He challenges the wealthy young man to abandon his possessions and follow Him, illustrating a stark contrast: true fulfillment doesn't come from being first or amassing followers but from placing oneself last, sacrificing one's desires, and dedicating one's life to what truly matters.
