So here's something I have not thought of before:

When I was coming up to a traffic light, I had to stop. I was first, in the que, waiting for the green light. But as I sat there, it occurred to me that I was also the last to the traffic light simultaneously. So I was both first and last.

So I thought of Jesus saying, about the first being the last and began to consider it though the lens of non-duality, and it became clear that seen through that lens, Jesus saying was not so much a threat of reversal of the social order, as it was an affirmation that the first and the last was one and the same.

Just as I was, at the traffic light.

So I laughed at myself, and muttered "You clever son of a bitch".

Which is probably not the proper way to address Jesus at all.
