THE PARABLE OF THE GREAT BANQUET / LUKE 14:15-24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 14:15-24

THE PARABLE OF THE GREAT BANQUET / LUKE 14:15-24

Although this parable originally applied to Israel and its widespread rejection of Christ and His message, it also applies to churches and individual believers today. 

  1. The subject of this parable is Christ’s future heavenly kingdom and those who will actually be a part of it following His return (Luke 14:14-15; 22:18).
  2. Those who were initially invited represent the Jews and their leaders who claimed to be waiting for the fulfillment of God’s kingdom on earth. But when Christ came, they refused His invitation to be part of that kingdom because He did not fit their expectations. Today, Christ’s invitation to eternal life goes out to all people. Many of those who appear to have received and accepted the invitation will ultimately pass up their opportunity to be with Christ. This is because other interests and concerns will take priority, and their love for Jesus and the heavenly kingdom will grow cold (Luke 14:17-20). None of the excuses given was genuine. For example, a person would not buy land or purchase oxen without first inspecting these things. 
  3. Such people do not set goals or follow through with them based on godly, eternal standards (Luke 14:18-20). They reject the Bible’s challenge to set their “minds on things above, not on earthly things,” while waiting for Christ to return (Colossians 3:1-4). Their life’s hopes and aspirations are centered on worldly, temporary things; and they no longer passionately desire “a better country – a heavenly one” (Hebrews 11:16).
  4. Luke 14:21-23 teaches us that there will also be those whose hearts are fully devoted to Christ and focused on eternal issues. They respond to Christ’s invitation without reservation and have nothing in life they value more than the opportunity to be with Jesus. Such people are able to pray with the Spirit and the bride (the rest of God’s faithful people in the church); “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:17).
  5. Followers of Jesus can be part of the invitation process, helping to deliver His message to people in “the streets and alleys” (Luke 14:23). It is often in these seemingly unlikely places where people are more ready to respond to Christ’s message. Yet Christ’s heavenly kingdom will be full of “unlikely” people.

EXALTS HIMSELF … HUMBLED / LUKE 14:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 14:11

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

EXALTS HIMSELF … HUMBLED / LUKE 14:11

Jesus warns that those who proudly promote themselves and their own interests in this life will be put to shame in the next. Much more important than earthly honor is our place of honor with God. That honor cannot be gained by self-promotion. It comes only through humility and servanthood (Luke 14:12-14 and by living in a way that honors God and receives living in a way that honors God and receives the reward of “praise that comes from the only God” (John 5:44).

SUFFERING FROM DROPSY / LUKE 14:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 14:2

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

SUFFERING FROM DROPSY / LUKE 14:2

This was a buildup or collecting of fluid that seriously affected the function and mobility of the body. The Greek word for this is a medical term found only here in the New Testament, which reflects Luke’s knowledge as a physician.

HIS ANOINTING TEACHES YOU / 1 JOHN 2:27

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 2:27

 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

HIS ANOINTING TEACHES YOU / 1 JOHN 2:27

All true followers of Christ are given the “anointing” (Holy Spirit, 1 John 2:20) to set them apart as God’s children and to help lead them into truth (John 14:26; John 16:13). As believers remain in the right relationship with Christ and commit themselves to spending time in God’s Word, the Holy Spirit helps them understand its life-transforming truths and how these truths apply to their lives. John is not ruling out the involvement of genuine Bible teachers, but he is speaking against false teachers who said that the message of Christ needed to be supplemented with a “higher knowledge” that they claimed to possess (1 John 1:1; 1 John 2:3). John responded to this lie by reminding his readers that the message already revealed to them by the Holy Spirit working through Christ’s original messengers was the only reliable truth.

The Holy Spirit’s teaching through God’s Word does not involve revelation of “new” truth or the explanation of all difficult Bible passages to our personal satisfaction. The Spirit works to illuminate the truth already revealed in God’s Word, helping believers to apply that truth to their lives in practical ways. 

  1. All believers may study and know God’s truth and learn from each other through mutual teaching and encouragement (Matthew 28:20; Ephesians 3:18; Colossians 3:16).
  2. This passage points out three safeguards against doctrinal (belief and teaching) error: (a) remaining in the right relationship with God the Father and Jesus the Son according to His revelation in the Bible (1 John 2:24). (b) The truth and empowering of the Holy Spirit. (c) Fellowship (1 John 1:3) with other committed Christians. 
  3. God’s people do not need instruction from those who teach things contrary to or outside of true Biblical faith, which is what John means when he says, “you do not need anyone [else] to teach you.”

HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING / 1 JOHN 2:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 2:24

 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING / 1 JOHN 2:24

Believers will remain in a right relationship with Christ and experience complete spiritual salvation only as long as they remain devoted to Christ and to the teaching of those He commissioned to deliver His original message as we have it in His Word – the Bible (Ephesians 2:20). This suggests two things:

  1. To abandon the original message of Christ and New Testament faith causes spiritual death and separates a person from Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:6-8; 5:1-4). For believers to be loyal to Christ, they must be loyal to His Word and live by the teachings of the New Testament. 
  2. It is dangerous to follow teachings or teachers who preach “new” things not found in God’s Word (Jude 1:3). For this reason, it is important to study God’s Word for oneself and to hold firmly to its teaching; our very souls and our eternal destinies depend on it.

THE LIAR … WHO DENIES THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST / 1 JOHN 2:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 2:22

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

THE LIAR … WHO DENIES THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST / 1 JOHN 2:22

No one who rejects or denies Jesus as Savior – the One sent by God to provide the way of forgiveness and rescue from the power of sin – can have a personal relationship with God. Jesus, the Son, is the only way to the Father (John 14:6; 1 John 1:1; 1 John 2:3; 1 John 2:18).

AN ANOINTING / 1 JOHN 2:20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 2:20

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

AN ANOINTING / 1 JOHN 2:20

True followers of Christ receive an anointing – an empowering and personal commissioning for His purposes – which is the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:21-22). Through the Spirit, we “know the truth” (1 John 2:27). And have the power to live by it.

THEY WENT OUT FROM US / 1 JOHN 2:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 2:19

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

THEY WENT OUT FROM US / 1 JOHN 2:19

When the “antichrists” left the church congregations because they really had nothing in common with true believers (1 John 1:3), they certainly were not in a saving relationship with Christ. This allows for two possibilities:

  1. They were never true followers of Christ to begin with.
  2. They had once been in a saving relationship with Christ but later had abandoned their faith in Him.

THE LAST HOUR … MANY ANTICHRISTS / 1 JOHN 2:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 2:18

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

THE LAST HOUR … MANY ANTICHRISTS / 1 JOHN 2:18

Like other New Testament writers, John viewed the whole period beginning with Christ’s first coming (by birth) as the last days, or “last hour.” It was a reality that gave a sense of urgency and expectancy in relation to Christ’s return (Matthew 25:1-13). Even in John’s time, Christians were aware that a great enemy of God and His people – an antichrist or false Christ – will come before the last days are completed. This person will rise to world power and lead a great rebellion against Christ and the New Testament faith (Revelation 13:1; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 13:18; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10). Yet John says that before this, there will be “many antichrists” (“against Christ”), some of whom had already infiltrated the church and promoted false teachings about Christ. These deceivers claim to be believers, yet they love the world and its sinful pleasures. They twist the message of Christ by denying that He came in human form (1 John 4:2; 2 John 1:2, 7) or that He was truly the Christ (the promised Savior from God, 1 John 2:22). The “antichrists” John refers to in this letter are probably early Gnostics (1 John 1:1).

See John 13:34-35 true love always acts in a God-honoring and selfless way (1 Corinthians 10:31). It puts the best interests of others ahead of personal freedoms and does not do anything that may cause another person to compromise his or her conscience or “to make him stumble” spiritually (Romans 14:20; 1 Corinthians 10:32; 1 Corinthians 9:19).
