In unpacking four key parables from Jesus in Luke 14, we uncover the "backwards wisdom of God" and see the importance of humility in the Kingdom of God. Jesus calls his followers to voluntarily take the lower seat and reminds us of His heart and His concern for the poor, the crippled, the sinner, and the outsider. Jesus tells of the dinner party of all believers in Heaven, to which He has invited all people without discrimination, and calls His followers to "go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame," that they would be able to be with Him.
