The context of this verse is a parable that Jesus told to some lawyers and Pharisees that were present at that time.
Possibly as Jesus had entered the house he had seen the guests maneuvering for the best places around the table. They sought the positions of eminence and honor. He warned them against this form of self-seeking. When they were invited to a meal, they should take the lower place rather than the higher.
When we seek a high place for ourselves, there is always the possible shame of being demoted. If we are truly humble before God, there is only one direction we can possibly move and that is up.
In verse 10 Jesus taught that it is better to be advanced to a place of honor than to grasp that place and later have to give it up.
Luke 14:10-11 BBE
(v.10) But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.
(v.11) For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.
