Tuesday of week 31, year II
Luke 14:15-24
Why did God exult his Son when he humbled himself? Because he became like all of us and carried all of us. Most of all, notice these words, " every tongue should acclaim Jesus Christ as Lord,to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:11)
How many of us are conscious that what we do glorifies the Father and not ourselves? If we are to define what life really means, it can only be in the context of serving God to the Glory of his name.
The gospel underscores the importance of responding to God's invitation. This too is a humbling act like Jesus. But remember, to those who offend God by not humbling themselves and serving him, " not one of those who were invited shall have a taste of my banquet." (Lk. 14, 24)
