Jesus says God’s arrival will be a day of astonishment and reversals.11 The first become last and the last first.12 Many who call Jesus “Lord” and did great things in his name are told he never knew them, and many who never recognized him are told that he’s known them all along.13 Many who thought they were in are cast outside, and many who didn’t seem to recognize there was an in or an out to begin with are welcomed with open arms.
