First & Last

Today's reading is in Luke chapter 13. The part of the passage I want to think about is just one verse - "Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last."
We all want to be the best at things, we all want to do well, but I believe that God wants us to be humble. I believe that Jesus tells us to be like servants and that in fact those are the people that will be first in Heaven. How amazing is that?  
To be great in the sight of God, we must become nothing in the eyes of the world. That's not to say that we don't try our best, but it does mean that we have to be humble and gracious and just serve the Lord for no other reason than we love him and want to see others love him too.
We should have no hidden agenda's, we should just be servant hearted, following Jesus example.
If it's good enough for the King of Kings then its good enough for us. Let's face it, Jesus left the splendour of heaven just to give us the opportunity to have Salvation. Without Jesus going to the cross, then we would be going to a lost eternity! He was humble for us, so we should be humble for him!
