Jesus had a way of up-ending accepted social patterns and assumptions. Here, in a passage that brings to mind the phrase "the last shall be first," he claims that the great will one day serve the lowly. It's a reminder that humble service is at the heart of the Christian life, and the mark of a true servant of Christ.
