While sitting at a dinner table in Jerusalem and conversing with His host, Jesus said, “…when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” When one of those at the table with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed are those who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God.”
[Luke 14:13-15 NIV]

If You Have Any Encouragement…

“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”
[Philippians 2:1-2 NIV]
