“So the last will be first, and the first will be last” (Matt 20:16), is the last verse in today’s Gospel reading. What a radical concept! What if the first place medal and prizes in today’s marathon here in Columbus went to the last person over the finish line? What if the last place team in baseball or football (or whatever sport you follow) went to the championship? I expect there would be uproar, and a whole set of rules changes.

But Jesus saw the world differently. He saw value in everyone. Even those in last place. Especially those in last place. Do you?

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!
