Corrupted in the place of honor
Manage episode 431048054 series 2923790
I once had a student in one of my university courses come to my office after not having done any work all semester. Without asking if anything was wrong, I launched into a professorial lecture about how he should have been doing what I told him to do if he wanted a decent grade, and no, I would not give him an incomplete. He would fail. He broke down sobbing - and I learned that something very bad was indeed wrong in his life. We look at the parable of the man who insists on sitting at the seat of honor at a banquet. We look at what it means to live by one of the core beliefs of being a Christian, and that is to be humble.
