Luke 14:10-14
Luke 14.1-14
Jesus Heals a Sick Man
"One Sabbath, Jesus was having dinner in the home of an important
Pharisee, and everyone was carefully watching Jesus. All of a sudden
a man with swollen legs stood up in front of him. Jesus turned and
asked the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses, "Is it right
to heal on the Sabbath?" But they did not say a word. Jesus took hold
of the man. Then he healed him and sent him away. Afterwards, Jesus
asked the people, "If your son or ox falls into a well, wouldn't you
pull him out right away, even on the Sabbath?" There was nothing they
could say.
How To Be a Guest
Jesus saw how the guests had tried to take the best seats. So he told
them: When you are invited to a wedding feast, don't sit in the best
place. Someone more important may have been invited. Then the one who
invited you will come and say, "Give your place to this other guest!"
You will be embarrassed and will have to sit in the worst place.
When you are invited to be a guest, go and sit in the worst place.
Then the one who invited you may come and say, "My friend, take a
better seat!" You will then be honored in front of all the other
guests. If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But
if you humble yourself, you will be honored. Then Jesus said to the
man who had invited him:
When you give a dinner or a banquet, don't invite your friends and
family and relatives and rich neighbors. If you do, they will invite
you in return, and you will be paid back. When you give a feast,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.They cannot pay
you back. But God will bless you and reward you when his people rise
from death."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. I Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
