Lesson 5386)(11-05-26) Luke 14:12-15
" Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God."
Today's quote teaches us about true, selfless hospitality. Therein, Jesus challenged the common human practice of giving gifts, hosting dinners, or showing kindness only to those who can return the favor or elevate our social standing. Instead, He calls us to care for the vulnerable, the poor, and those who can offer nothing in return, reminding us that true motives should look past worldly rewards and await God's eternal blessing. ~ NOTE: I will be out of town till Monday 11/09/26, our lessons will resume then. Sorry, I'll try to do better.
