Luke 13:30 New English Translation (NET Bible)

30 But indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be final.”

 Middleman

How to be a middleman when there is a hunger for the top?

How to serve all in the pack when all you do is want to lead?

How to be content as such when everyone slows you down?

How to be patient when out of breath at someone else’s feet?

You wanted to be first in the race for final admiration.

to be embraced and admired for the sake of a bit of fame

You came in just before the last but were first in frustration

You’re the laughing stock as now your team has you to blame
