the first will be last, and the last will be first
Then Peter said to Him, "We have given up everything and have followed You. Then what will we have?" Jesus said to them, "For sure, I tell you, when all the earth will be new and the Son of Man will sit on His throne in His shining-greatness, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, and judge the twelve family groups of the Jewish nation. Everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands because of Me, will get a hundred times more. And you will get life that lasts forever. Many who are first will be last. Many who are last will be first."---- Matthew 19: 27-30 (New Life Version)
Clarence "Chip" Hoosier was a "nobody" in the eyes of the world, but he was a great man and a faithful servant in the eyes of God. Chip Hoosier was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. As a deacon at St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Indianapolis, he was also a strong spiritual leader for his church family. At 9:45 ET Wednesday night, 57-year-old Chip Hoosier, a cab driver, was shot to death in his Yellow Cab and robbed of the few dollars he had in his pocket.
This story won't make national news. Mr. Hoosier wasn't a young, white, pretty, blonde, blue-eyed female, so Greta Van Susteren of FOX News won't be setting up a command post on Indy's West Side for "wall-to-wall coverage." You won't see breathless updates about Mr. Hoosier on CNN, MSNBC, or any of the other "alphabet" purveyors of liberalism. Don't you dare, however, make the mistake of thinking that Mr. Hoosier's life didn't matter. His life mattered a great deal, and he will continue to matter even after his untimely death.
Mr. Hoosier was called by God to minister to the hungry and the needy. He was in charge of his church's food pantry. He donated the use of his cab to take those in need to the doctor, to school, to work, or to church. He used his cab to deliver supplies from the food pantry to the hungry. His job as a cab driver became the "vehicle" for his ministry, and he worked tirelessly to fulfill God's three basic commands to us: love God with your entire being, love other people as much as you love yourself, and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to all the world. Clarence "Chip" Hoosier lived a life worthy of mention in the same breath as other great heroes of faith, as talked about in Hebrews 11. Now he lives with God in His perfect, heavenly home. Please pray for the family, friends, church, and ministry of Mr. Clarence Hoosier.
