TIN MỪNG CHO NGƯỜI TRẺ: TAKING THE LOWEST PLACE
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus was watching to see where the people sat when they were guests at a dinner. Some people thought they were important so they sat in the more important places. Jesus saw that they were proud, so He taught them about being humble.
When we are proud, we think that we are more important than other people, and that we deserve to have better things. We start to look down on everyone else, and pretty soon we start thinking that God isn’t so great either!
Being humble means knowing that we really are not all that important, even if we are better at some things than other people or have more money or more importan jobs. It means we know that God gave us these things to help others, not so that we could be proud about them. We can only give glory to God when we are humble.
