Isn't it interesting that some lessons from Our Lord, almost everyone remembers and observes –
(whilst others, we remember and observe not so much).
For example, this weekend's gospel.... about not taking the best seat at the banquet feast... but rather, humbling ourselves and taking the least seat of honour at the table; lest that "better seat" is reserved for someone else...and we are socially embarrassed.
Who hasn't thought of this wise advice when just about to sit down at the table of a dinner party or event?
I reckon this is one of those teachings that are often observed.
But of course, Our Lord was not teaching this lesson, as a piece of social etiquette… (as practical as it is) ….so we would not embarrass ourselves when attending a polite dinner party. He was using this as an example of how we should live its essence in our daily lives: In casual and formal situations.
So, whilst most people are at great pains to ensure they don't appear presumptuous at a formal event, wouldn't it be great if everyone took the same care to make sure that- in our workplace, in our home, in social and sporting events and all other encounters, we are not being pushy or barrelling others out of our way, to ensure the best of everything for ourselves and those closest to us.
Our Lord is trying to break the concept of "first in best dressed" or the "survival of the fittest" - or "every man or woman for themselves"
We are lovingly invited to foster a healthy humility, and an openness to others. Have an eye out for those most in need and avoid actions that are always calculated to gain favours.
God is the most loving of Fathers- Only wanting to give (and keep giving) to all of his beloved children - To encourage them, and guide them, nourish and provide for them, give them what they need in due season, protect and defend them.
Jesus asks ....
Not: -
"What's in it for me?" or "What can I get out of this?" or "What can this person do for me?"
but rather……
He asks: "How shall I help others?"
"What shall I give to this one?"
"What does this beloved brother or sister need ?"
God is generous and giving... and – adding to the heightened contrast - Our Lord is the most important person ever to walk the earth; and yet, he became the servant of all... and stripped himself of all that he was rightly entitled to.. in service and self-forgetting love; for the sake of the Kingdom...
