Cómo la humildad (no el estatus) desbloquea la mayor bendición de Dios
En una cena farisea, los invitados se esfuerzan por alcanzar los mejores asientos, con la mirada puesta en el honor. Jesús invierte la escena: ocupa el último lugar y deja que la bendición llegue desde los rincones más inesperados. Luego va más allá: invita a quienes no pueden corresponderte, porque allí se revela el reino. El honor no es un premio que se gana, sino una gracia que se recibe. En el banquete de Dios, el orgullo se disuelve, el amor se expande y los últimos son los primeros. La humildad y la hospitalidad ya no son pequeñas virtudes; se convierten en la puerta de entrada a la bendición de Dios.
How Humility (Not Status) Unlocks God’s Greatest Blessing
At a Pharisee’s dinner, guests reach for the best seats, eyes fixed on honor. Jesus unsettles the scene with a reversal: take the lowest place, and let blessing come from unexpected corners.

In God’s banquet, pride dissolves, love expands, and the last are first. Humility and hospitality are no longer small virtues—they become the very doorway into God’s blessing.
