Parables
The Parable of the Humbled Guest
Pastor Dave Divine
Luke 14:7-11  When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Matt 23:1-4 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy loads and put them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Mark 10:36-37, "What do you want me to do for you?"  37 They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”

<li>There is something about a mother that says, “I will let everyone else go first, and I will go last.”</li>
</ul>
Luke 14:10   "But when you are invited, take the lowest place…
1. The best seat is the least desired seat.
<ul>
<li>He was teaching the main point – Live in Humility. Humble Yourself. </li>
<li>Most people want the graduation tassel without the necessary hassle. </li>
</ul>
2. The best seat is the Lord’s seat.  
Luke 14:1  “…when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched.”
<ul>
<li>We would do well to carefully watch Jesus.  </li>
</ul>
Philippians 2:1-13   If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death — even death on a cross! 9  Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
Luke 14:11 … He who humbles himself will be exalted. 
<ul>
<li>1 - Humility is a choice.  </li>
<li>2 - Take the lowest seat</li>
</ul>
