=**luke 14:12-14 **=

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees. He said to the host who invited him, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

=Summary = Jesus on the Sabbath was invited to dinner from a man. Jesus told the man <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">"When you hold a lunch or a dinner,do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors but invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind."

=<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Reflection = <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">My personal reflection is that Jesus wanted the man to serve the poor and not the wealthy and not to expect <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">nothing in return. Jesus wants us to serve the needy and not the wealthy because we need to show kindness and expect nothing in return. In our everyday lives we invite friends and family to dinner and never think of the needy. Maybe they don't know them or don't care.

Invite your poor or the sick to dinner. Treat them equal as you would treat a wealthy man. Give them food and love show kindness and that you care for them. You want them to know you care and love them as Jesus showed his love to the men with leopard sea. We need to show them this. This can show that we love him and respect him that we live the way he wants us to. =**<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Prayer **= Jesus, please keep me kind keep me holy keep me safe. Protect the unhealthy and keep them safe and equal to all. Cure the poor and unhealthy. Help the wealthy keep the poor in mind and to care. Amen.,
