28/8/2022 请人吃饭的动机

路14:12-14

耶稣又对请他的人说、你摆设午饭、或晚饭、不要请你的朋友、弟兄、亲属、和富足的邻舍．恐怕他们也请你、你就得了报答。你摆设筵席、倒要请那贫穷的、残废的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的、你就有福了．因为他们没有甚么可报答你．到义人复活的时候、你要得着报答。

He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back. But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

and you will be blessed, because they don't have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

主耶稣！感谢祢, 今早的经文, 再度提醒我, 请人吃饭的动机。主啊！我在用餐谢饭的时候, 也不忘为那在饥饿中的人群代求。当我在遇见困苦的人, 也要及时伸出援手。
