Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

and you will be blessed.
This phrase emphasizes the promise of divine favor and approval. In the biblical context, blessings are often associated with God's favor and provision. The concept of being blessed is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where blessings are seen as a sign of God's covenant relationship with His people (Genesis 12:2-3). In the New Testament, Jesus frequently speaks of blessings in the context of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12), where those who exhibit godly characteristics are promised blessings. The blessing here is not necessarily material but spiritual, reflecting a deeper, eternal reward.

Since they cannot repay you,
This highlights the selfless nature of the act being encouraged. In the cultural context of the time, social interactions often involved reciprocal obligations. Hosting a meal or providing for someone typically came with the expectation of a return favor. Jesus challenges this norm by encouraging acts of kindness towards those who cannot reciprocate, such as the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind (Luke 14:13). This teaching aligns with the broader biblical principle of selfless love and generosity, as seen inProverbs 19:17, which states that lending to the poor is akin to lending to the Lord.

you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
This phrase points to the eschatological hope of believers. The resurrection of the righteous refers to the future event when those who have lived in accordance with God's will are raised to eternal life. This concept is rooted in Jewish eschatology and is affirmed in the New Testament (Daniel 12:2,John 5:28-29). The promise of repayment at the resurrection underscores the eternal perspective that Jesus encourages His followers to adopt. It reflects the belief that true rewards are not found in earthly recognition or repayment but in the eternal life promised to the faithful. This teaching is consistent with the parable of the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46), where acts of kindness to the least of these are seen as service to Christ Himself.

Teaching Points

Selfless Generosity
Jesus calls us to give without expecting anything in return. Our motivation should be love and obedience to God, not personal gain.

Eternal Perspective
The promise of being "repaid at the resurrection of the righteous" encourages believers to focus on eternal rewards rather than immediate, earthly compensation.

Humility in Service
Serving those who cannot repay us cultivates humility and reflects the character of Christ, who served humanity selflessly.

Trust in God's Justice
Trust that God sees and rewards our acts of kindness, even if they go unnoticed by others. Our faithfulness will be acknowledged in His perfect timing.

Living Out the Gospel
By serving the marginalized, we embody the Gospel message, demonstrating God's love and grace to a watching world.

Lists and Questions

Top 10 Lessons from Luke 14

What is the study of Mariology?

Why do so many Christians ignore Jesus’ commands to care for the poor (Luke 14:12-14)?

How many disciples did Jesus appear to after his resurrection: Twelve (1 Cor 15:5) or Eleven (Matt 27:3-5; Acts 1:9-26; Matt 28:16; Mark 16:14; Luke 24:9, 33)?

If Jesus was physically resurrected, why did His disciples sometimes fail to recognize Him (Luke 24:15-16, John 20:14)?

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(14)At the resurrection of the just.--The passage has the interest of being the first occurrence of the word "resurrection" in our Lord's teaching. On this point our Lord, while rebuking the pride and hypocrisy of the Pharisees, accepted the fundamental doctrine of their system, and so furnished a precedent for St. Paul's conduct inActs 23:6.
