• Jesus tells a story today about a party and how some of the guest
thought they were the most important, and so they sat in the seats nearest
the birthday boy/girl.
• Shock and horror followed embarrassment as they were told to vacate
their seats as the host wanted someone else to sit near them.
• How would you feel when this happen? (Discuss)
• Humility is when we don't go round bragging about how good we
are and how we are the best friend of the party host. Often we do this
to bragg how we are better than others are.
• Jesus does not want us to be braggers - rather he wants us to
be concerned with other peoples feelings
• Jesus was a very humble person and if we love Jesus, we would
want to be like him.
