Day 13 - Christmas Tradition: Jesus was born to make the last first and the first last - Luke 13:30

The word of truth about Jesus was born to make the last first and the first last - read more verses about the first will be last

Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' "But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.' "Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' "But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!' "There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last." Luke 13:22-30 NIV

Quote: "Jesus chose to make Himself last so He could make you first." - Hector Perez.

Praise & Prayer

Dear Jesus, I praise You for loving the rejects of this world and imperfect people who are considered last. Thank You for showing sinners like me unconditional love and great mercy. I ask You to please place Your seal of ownership upon my life. Holy Spirit, guide someone across my path today who feels last. Grant me the opportunity to share the wonderful truth of Christ's love in coming to this world to make the last first and the first last. I pray for their salvation in the mighty name of JESUS.
