Sunday (September 1): "He who exalts himself will be humbled"

Scripture:Luke 14:1, 7-11 
One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him. Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him; and he who invited you both will come and say to you, `Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, `Friend, go up higher'; then you  will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Sa atô kinabuhing Kristiyano, marajaw seguro na paningkamutan nato na ma-ang’kon nato an pagka-mapahiub’sanon na parehas nan pagka-mapahiub’sanon ni Lord Jesus Christ.

Nag-silbe si Jesus sa kataw’han bisan Hari Sija nan mga hari - serbisyo na nag-resuta sa Ija kamatajon, makasisipog pa man ganî na kamatajon kay tag-langsang man Sija sa Krus.

Ipangamujô natô kan Jesus Christ na hatagan kita Nija nan mapahiub’sanon na kasing-kasing para maka-panilbihan kita Dija sanan sa mga kataw’han kon diin Nija gusto kita paserbisyuhon.
