Christ Insight

Based On: Luke 14:1,7-14

Have you ever seen kids fight over the biggest piece of cake on the table or a toy they all wanted to play with? They will argue and perhaps even fight to get what they think they deserve.  Maybe we call that being selfish.  Sometimes don't we as adults do the very same thing? Of course we are more sophisticated about it.  We aren't so blatant, but sometimes we are selfish.  Where does this selfishness come from? Behind the selfish actions there is that thought that I should come first, or I should have more, or I am more important than this other person.  Our selfish desires are motivated by a sinful, self-centered pride.
