Luke 14:12–14
Kingdom generosity is selfless and resurrection-centered.
12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
Kingdom generosity is selfless and resurrection-centered.
To reveal that kingdom generosity rejects reciprocal self-interest and rests on resurrection reward.
