Guest Greg Davies Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 so if there is no diff, how are the first last and the last first? why make that distinction? Could this be a way of saying (in the context of the parable) that we all, as the body of Christ, enter the fullness of the Kingdom together? In other words, we all will be last and all will be first because we won't enter in seperately. Heb. 11:39,40 talk about the heroes of faith not receiving the promise (resurrection life) without us. They are the cloud of witnesses (Heb 12:1) that are waiting for us to be made perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen... we..The chosen few will recieve the same as the saints of old, God sees what he calls us to do just as important as those of old.. Love seeks no reward for love within itself is its own reward. Just meditate on that a while...We see one precious saint as measurably different then the other. while Obedience to the call of God knows no difference. God sees you as he sees the great fathers of faith; if you are in rightstanding that is. patricia1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
