In this teaching, we discuss our insatiable desire for more in contrast with Jesus’ exhortation to pursue less. There is a subtle image Luke deals here about this man who is suffering, whose particular illness was associated with craving and desire. When he is healed, Jesus then speaks about the craving for status and prestige that exists among those left at the table: the pursuit of this sort of thing will only end in humiliation. Jesus says that instead one should seek the low places, the humble places, and at the same time have a high view of others who are often relegated to the low places by those in places of status. This is where the values of the Kingdom begin to show. It is upside down compared to the values of the prevailing culture about working our way to the top.
