[Baggievicar]

It was Jesus' way of warning the Pharisees that they wouldn't be top of the prediction league come judgment day. But he used it with the disciples as well, so it's a warning against complacency in general and also great encouragement for those who are ground down now. Have a look at the end of Matthew chapter 19 as an example.
So the lesson is - I'm not down and out yet. Wish I could think the same about the baggies.
