August 12th -- Luke 14:1-14 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2014:1-14&version=NLT)

Read the passage please!

I think the main point of the part about seating at a feast is that we are not supposed to lift ourselves up. That is pride. Pride comes before the fall. And that's what happens in Jesus' parable. They place them self so high up that they fall because they placed them self too high up. In this parable Jesus says to place yourself low and let your friend lift you high. Now, that doesn't mean they give you bragging rights. It still means you're not being prideful. However, I also take it as being that you should have a good enough reputation that your friend does lift you up higher. He should have reason to. So, just keep up a great reputation (that's also truthful and accurate) and display Christ well to the world!

That's all for tonight! God bless! Shalom!
