Lukas 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:14

And thou shalt be blessed
By God, with an increase of worldly substance, or with spiritual blessings, and with eternal glory and happiness; and by these poor objects, who will pray to God for a blessing upon such a kind benefactor:

for they cannot recompense thee;
by inviting again to a like entertainment, as rich guests can do, and when they have done that there is nothing else to be expected; but such that entertain the poor can have no return from them, and yet a retaliation will be made:

for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just;
when the just shall rise again, which will be the first resurrection; and happy is he that has part in it: for the righteous, or dead in Christ will rise first; and notice will be taken of the good works of the saints, particularly of their acts of beneficence to the poor members of Christ; and which they have done in faith, from a principle of love to Christ, and with a view to the glory of God, and the good of their fellow creatures and Christians.

Lukas 14:14 In-Context

12 En Hij zeide ook tot dengene, die Hem genood had: Wanneer gij een middagmaal of avondmaal zult houden, zo roep niet uw vrienden, noch uw broeders, noch uw magen, noch uw rijke geburen; opdat ook dezelve u niet te eniger tijd wedernoden, en u vergelding geschiede.
13 Maar wanneer gij een maaltijd zult houden, zo nood armen, verminkten, kreupelen, blinden;
14 En gij zult zalig zijn, omdat zij niet hebben, om u te vergelden; want het zal u vergolden worden in de opstanding der rechtvaardigen.
15 En als een van degenen, die mede aanzaten, deze dingen hoorde, zeide hij tot Hem: Zalig is hij, die brood eet in het Koninkrijk Gods.
16 Maar Hij zeide tot hem: Een zeker mens bereidde een groot avondmaal, en hij noodde er velen.
