Luke 14: 4-6, 7-24, 34-35; Luke 5:13

In this chapter, Jesus confronted the Pharisees on several matters. Firstly, he healed on the Sabbath, which was something the Pharisees often confronted him about. Secondly, Jesus told them a parable about the seating arrangement at a banquet, where he emphasized the importance of humility. Thirdly, Jesus emphasized the importance of inviting the poor, crippled, lame, and blind to a banquet before inviting those who can repay the favor. Lastly, Jesus spoke about how people make excuses to avoid coming to his table or banquet, putting material and personal excuses before Him. However, he reminded them that as the "salt of the earth," we need to be seasoned by spending time with God and seeking His guidance to face the challenges and the decisions we make in life.
