What does the first will be last and the last will be first *actually* mean?

Luther House of Study’s co-directors, Sarah Stenson and Dr. Chris Croghan, join the podcast to talk about the laborers in the vineyard, a story Jesus tells his disciples about a landowner hiring workers throughout the day but paying them all a full day’s wage and ending with the often quoted verse, “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

In the conversation Adam, Kiri, and Mason ask: 

What does it mean to belong to God? 

Why are we, and most people, so upset when other people get more than us? 

What does daily bread look like?
