In a parable, Jesus warns the Pharisees not to assume places of honor lest they be shamed when someone of greater import arrives for anyone who exalts himself will be humbled. The Scriptures remind us, repeatedly, that humility and meekness are qualities most to be valued, but the world tells us the opposite. How can we be expected to navigate such conflicting messages? How do we reconcile the demands of the world with the teachings of Jesus?
