1 Lk 14: 15-24:
The parable speaks about an eschatological final gathering into God’s community
of salvation. For this heavenly banquet which will take place at the end of
time, Jesus sends out the invitations. The time to respond is now! Those who
are invited (in the parable the cream layer of the Jewish people) seem to have
rejected the invitation on the false pretexts their own concerns. The second
invitation to the Jewish people who are poor, crippled, outcasts and the
marginalized and the third invitation to the gentiles indicate the togetherness
of a wider community of God.
