First? Last?

There is another way of looking at what Jesus meant when he said, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first," and that is . . .  that there is no such thing as first and last.

Or . . . that they are such transient "places" that their sheer transience renders them irrelevant or obsolete.

Or . . . don't even bother to try and figure out first and last in yourself or in others because you don't have enough information.

Or . . . first and last are too temporal to pay any attention to or put any energy towards.

Or . . . did I say there were many ways of looking at what Jesus said?
