Luke 14 · Grade 4

Humble Hearts

Name Date

Read and Think

Jesus was invited to a meal at a Pharisee's home. A man with a swelling illness was there. Jesus asked if it was right to heal on the Sabbath, but no one answered. He healed the man and sent him away. Then He watched the guests rush for the best seats. He taught that the humble will be lifted up, but the proud will be brought low.

Jesus told the host to invite people who could never pay him back. That is how God gives His grace. Then a guest said how blessed it would be to eat in God's Kingdom. Jesus answered with a parable. A man invited many people to a feast, but they all made excuses. So he invited the poor, crippled, blind and lame, and even people from the roads and hedges. God's feast will be full.

As crowds followed Jesus, He told them to count the cost. A builder plans before building a tower. A king thinks before going to war. Following Jesus means loving Him above everything, even family and our own life.
