You know that feeling where you just don’t have enough to make it, no matter how hard you try? Well, that’s all going to change. You know the feeling of unfairness you sometimes feel - like the world is stacked against you and you’re just set up for failure? Don’t worry, that system is going to crumble. Have you ever felt as though there’s no real point in trying because, although there are plenty of people who seem to be winning in this world, you’re just not one of them? Have you ever looked yourself in the mirror and thought, I’m just one of the losers and that’s all there is to it? Hang in there, because your time is coming. In the first chapter of Luke, when the pregnant Mary goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth, she sings this amazing song about how God has not forgotten about His people and how much His heart breaks and beats for the forgotten. Mary’s song hasn’t been totally fulfilled yet, but it will be. Jesus said, “The last will be first.” That wasn’t just a nice idea or a hippie pipe dream; it was a statement of cold, hard fact, and a prophecy you can bank on which was uttered by the Word made flesh. You may be sick, depressed, cast-out, broken-hearted, dirt-poor and at the bottom of life, but you’re not in Jesus’ world. If you love Him, He’s going to flip everything upside down. The last will indeed be first. The sick will be strong. The poor will be filled. The broken will be whole. Look to the One who came to the manger bed and will rule the universe as the Unrivaled, Eternal King.
