Luke 14:15-24

The parable of the great banquet 14:15-24

Jesus continued to use the meal in the Pharisee’s house to teach about the messianic banquet and the kingdom to come. He had taught the importance of humbling oneself to participate (Luke 14:7-11) and had justified that requirement (Luke 14:12-14). Now He invited His hearers to humble themselves so they could participate and warned those who rejected His invitation of their fate.
