    Matt.19:30 "First and the last"

    "But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

    As a literary motif we have the Spirit using a chiastic pattern, very similar to fractal design the visual motif self repeating not at random but as part of the whole retaining the harmony in idea and execution. Jesus the deity and the man is in focus.

    The key verse is a classic example and it is apt considering Jesus Christ is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. " For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."( Matt.16:25) 'for my name's sake places emphasis on on the word, (Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth') and the man, the word that became flesh.

    Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever proved the point by his resurrection. He became in the likeness of flesh and tasted death but by the power of his Father overcame death and is seated on the right hand of God. So the idea and the man validates the glory of God in this earthen vessel.

    As examples we shall consider two. "for of such is the kingdom of heaven." refers to a specific loss in order to be considered fit for his kingdom. "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." (18:3)

    It explains the phantom limb sensation. Patients losing a limb due to disease or accidence shall still feel as though it is there. One is rid of his life experience and assuredness of riches for his sake and yet to feel the sense of heaven as a phantom limb is real. "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." (Ep.4:12) Second is regarding the young man was all willing but his great possessions prevented him. (19:16-23). His case was like the alien hand syndrome one hand wants to do the opposite of what other hand seeks. The devil is in the flesh.
