What’s been your most awkward dinner party? Jesus sure had a way with the people he interacted with. To the poor and needy he was gentle and caring, gracious, and compassionate. But he had harsh words for those who believed they were righteous and would challenge their long-held values and beliefs. This Sunday in Luke 14, Jesus uses a dinner banquet at the house of a Pharisee to share how his love goes out to all the most unlikely people. He challenges us to love those who are the untouchables in our society as we recognize our own brokenness and need.
