Can You Hear Me Now? - VOX Community Podcast Oct. 15 2017 - a podcast by VOX Community Podcast

Ronny Roa continues his teaching from last week on Luke 14. Jesus explains to the Pharisees what God’s kingdom is truly like through a parable. The Pharisees were the religious elites who thought they knew everything about God’s kingdom and they were already part of it based on their social status and their own righteousness. In verse 1, one man delights in this, exclaiming, “What a blessing it will be to attend a banquet in the Kingdom of God!” Then Jesus tells a parable about a man who sent out invitations to a feast. All the invitees made excuses and refused to come. Jesus uses the parable to point out to the Pharisees that they are in fact not engaging in God’s kingdom by refusing to love and serve the marginalized as Jesus does. In the parable, the master tells his servant to “go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and invite the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame,” (v. 21) illustrating that Jesus’ invitation into God’s kingdom is extended to everyone including the marginalized, if they are willing to humbly accept His love and forgiveness.
