Jesus, once again, introduces us to the upside-down Kingdom of heaven. So often we strive to be first. We award the best, the fastest, the strongest, and those who win.

Why are we so enamored, as a culture, with the “next best thing”? Is it possible that there is something within us that knows this world was created in perfection? Is it possible that something hardwired deep inside us knows that things are supposed to be better? Is it this longing that leads us to pursue “stronger, better, faster”?
