Women of Welcome: Christ-Like WelcomeÖrnek

Welcome that Invites Thoughtful Questions: 1\. (In Luke 14) Before the great banquet passage, Jesus told another related parable in verses 7-11. Take a moment to look this up in your Bible (Luke 14:7-11). How does this particular story weave deeper meaning into the great banquet parable (verses 12-24)? 2\. Imagine you are one of the people “on the highways and hedges” who receives the last-minute invitation to attend (crippled, blind, lame, beggars). How would you feel about being invited and physically “brought in” as someone who belongs? 3\. (In John 1) How do you think John’s two disciples felt about being invited to Jesus’s place and spending time with him? If you were invited to spend the day with Jesus, what would you talk to him about? What questions would you have for him?
