Luke 14:1-24

Pride is more than arrogance - it's a heart posture that resists dependence on God and elevates self instead. Through Luke 14, we see how pride hardens our hearts to others' suffering and drives us to seek recognition in wrong places. The Pharisees cared more about trapping Jesus than helping a suffering man, revealing how pride makes us value being right over showing love. Jesus taught radical humility by taking the lowest place, not for false modesty but because our worth comes from being God's children. True humility trusts God's plan over our control and serves without expecting recognition.
