Mark 10 - The Last Will Be First

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 08:00:42 GMT

What does it look like for the first to be last and the last to be first? In Mark 10, Jesus reacts completely contrary to what His world expected. Those that looked like they had everything together were humbled before Him. Those that the world cast off were called closer to Him and given places of honor. This is the upside-down Kingdom of God.
