Christ Is The Host And We Are His Guests

This Sunday we will be looking at a different kind of generosity, the kind that Jesus teaches is about in Luke 14. As generosity and hospitality go hand in hand, we learn that when we invite people over it should not be about entertaining them, it should not be about us as the host, but should actually be about listening and serving the guest. What does this mean, then, that "Christ is the host and we are His guests"? And, furthermore, how can we pursue this practically?

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
