Caleb Dunn , Luke 14:1-24. Throughout the Gospel of Luke, Jesus uses simple table interactions to reveal the truth of who God is and the nature of God's Kingdom. In this passage of Scripture at the table of a prominent Pharisee, Jesus not only challenges those who value religious traditions or personal prominence over the love of their neighbors, but also Jesus uses the parable the great banquet to teach about God's invitation in our lives. Each of us have been invited to our place in the Kingdom, and Jesus communicates that God is not simply looking for the right people who have all of the status, gifts, or abilities. Instead, God is looking for anyone who will ultimately respond to the Lord's invitation. While we can always find another excuse to delay or resist the various promptings of Jesus in our lives, the Lord calls us to say yes to whatever he has for us in the Kingdom of God.
