We discover the joy of getting ahead at a young age. Chutes and Ladders is played in families with preschoolers and they love getting to go up the ladder but dislike the reverse. But what if there are lessons to be learned at the bottom of the chute? Jesus came and turned the world upside down. In his kingdom, the first are last, the servants are leaders, and He takes bad and makes it good. How do we orient ourselves in his kingdom when it is so different than our nature and our culture?
Matthew 20:20-28 CSB
Mark 10:35-37 CSB
