Click here for Luke 14 audio:
Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.
Luke 14 begins with Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath at the home of a Pharisee, exposing the hypocrisy of those who prized rules over mercy (vv. 1–6). He then teaches about humility through the parable of a wedding feast, warning that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, but those who humble themselves will be exalted (vv. 7–11). In the parable of the great banquet, Jesus reveals God’s generous invitation to all—especially the poor, broken, and outcast—while warning that those who make excuses will miss His Kingdom (vv. 12–24).
Jesus also teaches about the cost of discipleship, calling His followers to love Him above all else, take up their cross, and count the cost of commitment (vv. 25–33). He ends with the image of salt that has lost its taste, stressing that disciples must live faithfully or risk becoming useless (vv. 34–35).
🌀 Reflection:
Am I walking in humility and counting the cost of following Jesus, or am I tempted to make excuses that keep me from wholehearted devotion?
💬 Mission Challenge:
Invite someone who might feel overlooked or left out—whether a neighbor, coworker, or classmate—to share a meal or attend church with you this week, reflecting the open invitation of God’s Kingdom.
