Thankful for the Lowest Place

The truth that Jesus is teaching in this passage is that a true disciple of His; one who knows Him and who would serve Him, is the person who is humble. This is something which Christ would have each of us to learn. I want to tie this truth in with the theme of Thanksgiving Day, in this way. I believe that if you are thankful, if you are being taught by the grace of God, you will become a humble person. But I believe that in your becoming humble, you will not turn in on yourself and become an island to yourself. Rather, you will look outside of yourself to see how you might serve our Lord.
So let us ask ourselves some questions in relation to this parable, to determine whether we are making progress in becoming the humble, and holy, and loving people that Jesus would have us to be. 1st – Are you thankful to have received the invitation to this wedding feast that Jesus is talking about? (verses 7-9) 2nd – Are you willing to show forth your thankfulness in taking the lowest position at the table? (verses 10 & 11) And 3rd – Will you continue to have a thankful spirit, looking to do the Lord's bidding, as you wait to go up higher at the table to which you have been called? (verses 12-14)
