Luke 14:12–35
Key Verse 14:33
Read v.12-14. Where was Jesus (Lk 14:1) and what issue did he point out? Why are the poor, crippled, lame and blind considered the best to invite (14)? What principle is Jesus teaching us?
Read v.15-20. What did Jesus say to the man excited about the future? In Jesus’ parable, was the banquet a current or future event? What excuses were given and what do they have in common?
Read v.21-24. How did the master feel after being ignored? What quality did the poor, crippled, blind and lame have that the others didn’t? Why did the master want the lowly to taste his banquet but never the men invited?
Read v.25-27. What issue might Jesus have seen in the “crowds” that accompanied him? How is the banquet parable connected to Jesus’ teaching to hate one’s own life? What can we learn from Jesus?
Read v.28-35. What can we learn from Jesus’ analogy of the tower and the kings (28-32)? Why is it necessary to “renounce all” that we have to be Jesus’ disciple (34-35)?
