This Bible story is about food?
I can’t wait to hear it. I’m drooling already.
Did Jesus feed thousands of people again?
I’m all ears.
***
Jesus went to eat at the house of a prominent Pharisee.
***
Oh, I get it. Someone fed Jesus this time. I wonder if that Pharisee invites dogs to eat at his house.
***
Jesus said to His host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But 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.”
***
I can’t repay for my dinner, so I should be invited all the time.
I’m listening. I’m listening.
***
When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
***
Blessed is the dog too.
***
Jesus replied,: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
“Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
“Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’”
***
If all those people can’t come that means there will be lots of leftovers. I bet they’ll give them to me and all my dog buddies.
I am listening. I’m waiting for the food part.
***
Jesus continued, “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’
***
Don’t bring in too many of those people. There won’t be any food left for us dogs.
***
“’Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’”
***
Oh good. Time for a dog party.
***
“Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”
***
Here I am. I’m on this country lane out here. I’ll eat the banquet that those ungrateful men wouldn’t come and eat.
Jesus does care about dogs, doesn’t He?
Scratchy!
