Daily Discipleship Guide for 19-MAR-2010
In Luke 14:8-11 (please read) Jesus disrupts the trusted teaching on table manners by reversing where people sit at the party. What kind of topsy-turvy etiquette is this? "For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." His lesson confuses people who thought they knew proper etiquette.
Following Jesus makes us not follow proper norms. Jesus teaches us a new etiquette. Etiquette exists to make us feel comfortable, to be able to feel a sense of control in knowing what to do in certain situations.Are you willing to sacrifice your need for feeling comfortable and in control to follow Jesus?
