YEAR WITH JESUS | The First Shall Be Last

The First Shall Be Last

Dear parents,

We had another great time of conversation during the second week of our four-lesson series titled “The Controversial Jesus.” This week we looked at the controversy Jesus stirred up when he repeatedly spoke about how “the first shall be last.” We looked at the implications of this saying, and we discussed how we could apply it to our lives as followers of Christ.

As you go throughout the week, help reinforce this teaching in your child’s life by asking the following questions as you have the opportunity:

• What are some of the rewards of serving other people? What are some of the sacrifices?
• How does an others-focused, serving-focused attitude go against what our culture says is important?
• What are some customs and behaviors of our culture that you have to reject if you want to live life as a servant-leader?

​Have an awesome week!

NEXT WEEK | Whitewashed Tombs (Matthew 23:1-28)
