Living Upside-Down

Status, position, wealth, power- all of these are metrics that we use to measure success. But Jesus doesn't use an earthly measuring stick. Instead he challenges us with words like "the first shall be last" or "only the meek will inherit." These phrases often seem wrong, going against our desire to be strong and secure. Jesus challenges us to live UPSIDE-DOWN, seeking not to emulate the powerful but instead seek to make our lives mirror the weak.
