The dinner of Luke 14 continues with a parable from Christ. D. L. Bock observes that “Jesus’ point is not that we should connive to receive greater honor. Rather, he is saying that honor is not to be seized; it is awarded. Jesus is not against giving honor to one who deserves it, but he is against the use of power and prestige for self-aggrandizement. God honors the humble, and the highway of humility leads to the gate of heaven.”

Charlotte Mason develops this theme in her poem “The Judge in presence.” “God retains His high command,” she declares. Read or hear the complete thought here.
