14 and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” Luke 14:12-14.
It is hard for us, regular folk, to even imagine such a thing for even a plain potluck dinner. “But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind”.
Now, think of a king. Only a few of the top class of citizens of a kingdom get the privilege to be around him. But, to be at a king’s feast, you have to be the very best.
So, what does our King of Kings do for His heavenly reception (the best party of all time)? We will read just a few verses later in this same chapter of Luke 14 that He commands His slave: ‘Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ Luke 14:23.
