Jump to Previous Banquet Bidden Dinner Feast Invited Requested Supper TasteJump to Next Banquet Bidden Dinner Feast Invited Requested Supper TasteLuke 14 1. Jesus heals the dropsy on the Sabbath;7. teaches humility; 12. to feast the poor; 15. under the parable of the great supper, 23. shows how worldly minded men shall be shut out of heaven. 25. Those who will be his disciples, to bear their cross must make their accounts beforehand, 31. lest with shame they revolt from him afterward; 34. and become altogether unprofitable, like salt that has lost its flavor. For I tell you This phrase indicates a direct and authoritative statement from Jesus. It emphasizes the certainty and importance of what follows. In the context of Luke 14, Jesus is speaking to a group that includes Pharisees and other religious leaders, highlighting His role as a teacher and prophet. This introduction underscores the seriousness of the message, akin to the Old Testament prophets who often prefaced their declarations with "Thus says the Lord." not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’” Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe speaker of this parable, Jesus uses this account to teach about the Kingdom of God and the consequences of rejecting His invitation. 2. The Host Represents God, who has prepared a great banquet and extended invitations to many. 3. The Invited Guests Symbolize the people of Israel, particularly the religious leaders and those who initially received God's covenant but rejected Jesus. 4. The Banquet Represents the Kingdom of God and the eternal fellowship with Him. 5. The Servant Represents the prophets and messengers of God, including Jesus Himself, who extend God's invitation to His people. Teaching Points The Urgency of AcceptanceThe invitation to God's kingdom is extended to all, but it requires a timely and sincere response. Delaying or rejecting this invitation has eternal consequences. The Danger of Complacency Those who assume they are automatically included in God's kingdom due to heritage or self-righteousness may find themselves excluded if they do not genuinely accept Christ. God's Inclusive Invitation While the initial invitees rejected the call, God's invitation extends to all, including those considered outsiders. This highlights God's grace and the universal call to salvation. The Cost of Rejection Rejecting God's invitation results in missing out on the blessings and joy of His kingdom. This serves as a warning to prioritize spiritual matters over worldly distractions. The Role of God's Servants Believers are called to be like the servant, actively inviting others to partake in God's kingdom, demonstrating the urgency and importance of this mission.(24) None of those men which were bidden . . .--Here again we may not press a literal interpretation of the parable. The absolute exclusion of the whole company of the first-invited guests has its anti-type in the general rejection of Israel from fellowship with the Church of Christ. It lies in the very nature of a parable that it deals roughly with general facts, and so it passes over in this instance what would have answered to the admission of a chosen few, "the remnant according to the election of grace" (Romans 11:5.)Verse 24. - For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. Whose words are these? Are they spoken by the host of the parable-story; and if so, to whom does he address them? For in the original Greek it is not "I say unto thee" (singular), the servant with whom throughout he has been holding a colloquy, but "I say unto you" (plural), Who does he mean by "you"? The assembled guests? or especially the already introduced poor of ver. 21 (so Bengel)? But what conceivable purpose, as Stier well asks, would be served by addressing these stern words to the guests admitted? Would their bliss be increased by a side-glance at those who had lost what they were to enjoy? How inharmonious a close would this be of a parable constructed with such tender graciousness throughout l It is better, therefore, to understand it as spoken with deep solemnity by the Master himself to the assembled guests in the Pharisee's house, with whom he was then sitting at meat, and for whose special instruction he had spoken the foregoing parable of the great supper. "I say unto you, that none of those who were bidden in the parable-story (and ye know full well that you yourselves are included in that number) shall sit at my table in heaven." This identification of himself as the Host of the great heavenly banquet was quite in accordance with the lofty and unveiled claims of the Master during the last period of his public ministry. Throughout this exposition of the great supper parable, the idea of the primary reference to the Jewish people has been steadily kept in view. It was a distinct piece of teaching, historic and prophetic, addressed to the Jew of the days of our Lord. As years passed on, it became a saying of the deepest interest to the Gentile missionaries and to the rapidly growing Gentile congregations of the first Christian centuries. In time it ceased to be used as a piece of warning history and of instructive prophecy, and the Church in every succeeding age has recognized its deep practical wisdom, and is ever discovering in it fresh lessons which belong to the life of the day, and which seemingly were drawn from it and intended for its special instruction, for its warning and for its comfort.
