In Luke 14, Jesus challenges cultural norms by teaching humility, hospitality, and the radical grace of God's kingdom. He urges his followers to invite the poor, crippled, blind, and lame—not those who can repay—because true reward comes from God, not social status. Through the parable of the great banquet, Jesus shows that many who presume they are included may miss out, while the unexpected and marginalized are welcomed at God’s table.
