Don’t Invite the Most Likely

• Friends
• Brothers/Other Relatives
• Rich Neighbors

Instead, for a Righteous, Resurrection-Day Reward, Invite …

• The Poor
• The Crippled
• The Lame
• The Blind

Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Jesus CAN be Trusted for Reliable Party Planning Recommendations, because This is the Same Kind of Guest List He’s Making for His Own Wedding Banquet.

Please excuse me.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
