S – Scripture
Mark 10 v. 31 But many that are first will be last, and the last first.
O – Observation
Jesus clearly indicates that here will be two distinct periods of life. First our current, temporary life. Ninety plus years if I’m lucky. And then our eternal lives. It’s interesting to note that what we do in our temporary lives will have a great impact on our eternal lives. Jesus said earlier in Mark 9 v. 35, “To be first you must be last and a servant to all.” As I think about it, Life is kind of like college, how you invest in those four years will greatly impact the rest of your life. This is the same with our lives, how we invest our lives for Jesus will greatly impact the rest of our eternal lives. (It’s important to note, however good works does not save us. Nor should we be motivated to do things for Jesus just to improve our status in our eternal life. No we should do these things for Jesus because we want to. We want to show him our love.)
A – Application
How am I investing my time?
P – Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be last on account of you. Love Will
