In Luke 14:12-24, Jesus teaches true hospitality and humility at a Pharisee’s dinner. Instead of inviting people who can repay you, invite the poor, crippled, lame, and blind — you will be rewarded at the resurrection. The Parable of the Great Banquet shows many reject God’s invitation with lame excuses, so the invitation goes to outsiders. Jesus warns that the originally invited (Israel) will miss the kingdom while others fill the house. Key: Serve without expecting repayment, and examine your heart for eternity.
