"Where do I sit?"
This is the question that most students ask the first day of school, especially at lunch. This involves more than simply convenience or even friendship, but the question of "coolness" and the reality of social status and rank.
Ultimately, this question isn't simply for first day high school students, but for all of us, as we face the lunch rooms of life, those situations where we have to figure out our social status.
In a parable today (Luke 14:7-14), Jesus takes us the reality of social status and the question of "Where do I sit?" He first teaches humility but then goes deeper, turning the whole status game on its head.
