The way of Jesus -- Luke 14
In Luke 14, Jesus is eating at a pharisee's house. I love that because Jesus eats with everyone. At the dinner he started teaching them his way. Part of the way of Jesus. Here is a couple of the things he mentioned.
When at a gathering do not take the place of honor. Take the lowest position, that way others can lift you up, rather than being asked to step down.
Also, when you host a lunch or dinner do not invite invite friends, family, and the rich, but invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed.
This isn't just Jesus' teaching, it is his way . . . it is what he did. He was born into the lowest position. And he came for all humanity, but was most concerned for the poor, and the sick, those who could not take care of themselves.
Following Jesus changes things.
