A Generous Invitation | Luke: A Doctor's Gospel

This week we will be studying Luke 14:15-24 under the theme “A Generous Invitation.” Last week, Jesus talked about the timeliness of response to his gracious invitation. This week, we see that humans, particularly those who are greatly blessed, are often inclined to make excuses for not coming when they realize how disruptive this impending feast could be to their present life. But if the animal has been slaughtered and the food prepared, the feast will continue for all who are hungry and willing to drop everything.

The goal of Dr. Luke’s Gospel is to present the universal reach of Jesus’ gift of salvation. As a man of science, Luke was not particularly interested in mere spiritual opinions, feelings, rumors, or legends. Educated and orderly, Luke sifted through the garbage of misinformation and bad ideas to bring substantiated eyewitness verification of the truth—a gracious reality of mercy and justice for all.
