Kingdom Hospitality – Luke 14:12-24

Luke 14:12-24

What are some of your favorite meals of all time? I don’t just mean the food, but the occasion. The experience? Deep within us, we all long for good food and drink with family and friends, in which there’s conversation, joy and love. When someone passes, it’s what we miss: the table. This is pointing somewhere else, to something else. All of these experiences are pointing us to the kingdom of God. Additionally, the table, or hospitality is essential for understanding the nature of God and the mission of God. Those who have experienced Jesus’ gracious hospitality should extend the same type of gracious hospitality to others.
