Fostering Gospel Humility, Luke 14: 7-24

This Sunday, our message was called “Fostering Gospel Humility”. In Luke 14, Jesus is making it really clear that you can’t be His disciple if you won’t humble yourself and serve God by sacrificially serving others. He tells three banquet parables to address three different groups of people who manifest three different expressions of pride. What He shows us is that pride really is a failure to believe in the goodness and grace of God. One of the most freeing things that you and I can know is that God has got your back forever. God is for you. God is with you. God will never let you go. 

In this passage of Scripture, Jesus calls for humble Christian disciples by pointing out the goodness of God. It is, of course, that goodness that enables Jesus to humble Himself and go to the cross. If we are going to truly follow Christ and serve others, we must believe what the cross displays – God is so good. Come as we continue to prayerfully seek the kind of humility that only the gospel can produce.
