Jesus addresses 5 different groups of people in chapter 14:
1-6: What is Jesus’ message to the Pharisee, the one with false piety?
7-11: What does Jesus say to the guest, the one with false popularity?
12-14: What are Jesus’ thoughts about the host, the one with false hospitality?
15-24: What is Jesus’ message to the Jew (the insider), with a false security?
25-35 : How does Jesus correct the multitudes, the ones with a false expectancy?
1) Which of the 5 do you identify with most?
2) How do we balance the initiative to show up to the banquet with the humility to not take the seat of honor?
3) In our culture of personal rights and putting self first, what does it mean to “carry their cross and follow Jesus (verse 27)”?
4) What is the significance of Jesus eating with folks? What does communion mean to you?
