Luke 14:1, 7-14, Give a banquet that pleases God

Jesus was under close and careful scrutiny by the Pharisees who were watching for a misstep in order to discredit him.  They were afraid that his "radical" ideas would undermine the religion and tradition they protected.

Nonetheless, he never let this critical scrutiny by his opponents keep him from saying and doing the right things.  As Christians, we must never succumb to pressure to do what is politically or socially correct at the expense of our spiritual beliefs and obligations.  For example, there is a cultural value to "networking" - entertaining people who can further our personal or professional goals.  There is usually an exchange of favors implied in this kind of a relationship, "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." 

In this parable, however, Jesus counseled that doing favors for and being kind to the disadvantaged can be very rewarding and will bring blessings to the host.  "The guests won't be able to "scratch your back," but God will repay the kindness in full.
