“When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not
invite your friends or your brothers or your
relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite
you in return and you be repaid. But when you
give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the
lame, the blind, and you will be blessed,
because they cannot repay you. For you will be
repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Luke 14:12

has not really encountered the saving mercy of God. Grace
should make you just.”
Keller, 93-94
