Jesus uses the phrase "The last will be first, and the first will be last" a few times in the New Testament Gospels. Here we explore one of those uses coming from Matthew 19:28-20:16, and a parable of his (the vineyard owner and the workers), in order to understand that phrase and its meaning for us. It's about thankfulness, and joy.

The concept here also might upset us (at first glance) because it rubs against our notions of fairness and justice. Watch this video to reconcile the discord between thankfulness and contentment, and advocating for justice, fairness, and equality.
