ARE YOU BIG HEADED?

PRIDE BUSTERS

WHERE WOULD YOU SIT?

"And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been picking out the places of honor at the table, saying to them,

"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place. 
Luke 14:7-9 NAS

Big headed people like to sit at the place of honor.  While humble persons like to be the table servants.

But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you." Luke 14:10 NASB

"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."  
Luke 14:11 NASB

"The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; PRIDE and arrogance and the evil way ..." 
Proverbs 8:13 NKJV

JUDAS SAT IN THE PLACE OF HONOR BESIDE JESUS AT THE LAST SUPPER.
PETER SAT IN THE SERVANTS PLACE, AT THE OTHER END OF THE TABLE.

IF YOU COULD SIT ANY WHERE AT THE TABLE, WHERE WOULD YOU SEAT YOURSELF?
