The first will be last,and the last will be first. Y'SHUA MESSIAH taught this concept. Y'SHUA MESSIAH is the greatest teacher that ever lived.
Until you surrender your soul to the GOD MOST HIGH that created your soul to be your best, you will never succeed.
Y'SHUA MESSIAH also taught that for one to find his life, that one must first lose his life. And that means to give your soul to GOD MOST HIGH, and then you will find your life and succeed and fulfill all that GOD MOST HIGH created you to be. The majestic GOD MOST HIGH creates all things majestic Within the creation to be a source and a type of HIS MOST MAJESTIC SELF and thereby showing the glory of God in all of creation through every soul being.
To lose your life simply means to get your personal ego out of the way, and acknowledge the GOD that created you so you can find your real self and therefore be a GODLIKE BEING while at the same time keeping your personal traits and personality intact, and there by showing the difference between beings.
All of this brings pleasure to GOD MOST HIGH, and that is why he created you and me.
