When Jesus noticed how the dinner guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. Luke 14:7

To no surprise, Jesus’ parable encouraged his listeners to seek a humble place rather than an exalted one. In the age of Facebook, when self-advertisement is often the name of the game, seeking a humble place seems totally old-fashioned, but it was apparently old-fashioned even in Jesus’ time! Jesus invites his listeners, and us, to consider an other-centered view of life.
