I don't want to be last, I want to be first.
But I suppose to be first I will have to be last, but then if I'm last I can't be first.
My head is starting to hurt. Lol
Matthew 20:1-16 NKJV
[1] "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning
to hire laborers for his vineyard.
[2] Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
[3] And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
[4] and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.'
So they went.
[5] Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
[6] And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said
to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
[7] They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into
the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
[8] "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call
the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'
[9] And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
[10] But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they
likewise received each a denarius.
[11] And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,
[12] saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to
us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
[13] But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you
not agree with me for a denarius?
[14] Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
[15] Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil
because I am good?'
[16] So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."
But I suppose to be first I will have to be last, but then if I'm last I can't be first.
