Her Morning Meditations by Her Daily Word
In Luke 14:12-14, Jesus advises his host to stop inviting friends, relatives, and wealthy neighbors to dinners. Instead, he challenges followers to host the poor, crippled, and blind. Because they cannot reciprocate, you will be blessed and rewarded by God at the resurrection of the righteous. This teaching centers on radical hospitality and selflessness: * Avoid Self-Serving Generosity: Jesus warns against inviting people who can "pay you back" with future favors or invitations. Doing so means your social reward is already received. * Embrace the Marginalized: He instructs believers to show kindness to those often viewed as outcasts—the poor, the lame, and the blind. * Focus on Eternal Rewards: By helping those who cannot repay you, you lay up "treasures in heaven". Your ultimate recompense is assured by God at the resurrection.
