Hebrews 8

Receiving Honor through Humility, Luke 14:1, 7-14

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran Receiving Honor through Humility, Luke 14.1, 7-14

Jesus taught a group of people about honor and shame and humility in today’s Gospel lesson from Luke 14. He saw guests vying for better seats of honor and told them a parable about what happens when you claim honor that you do not have. Instead, one should pursue humility and the lowest place that you can be exalted in the eyes of all.
