<p>14:15 <i>And when one of his dinner guests heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God</i>- We mustn't just like <i>the idea</i> of being in the Kingdom. We must seek it above all. The Lord told a parable about people invited to the Kingdom who all came up with different excuses as to why they couldn't come. This was in response to somebody remarking: &quot;Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God&quot; - 'how great it would be to be in the Kingdom'. And the Lord is replying 'Many of those given the real opportunity to be there actually don't want it that much at all. Don't just like the idea of being in my Kingdom, but make it the driving passion in your daily life, for which you'll sacrifice all'.</p><p>The Lord continues to turn the questions / comments back on themselves. A man comments how blessed will be the person to eat bread in the Kingdom of God; and Jesus responds by telling the parable about how in fact the majority of those who receive invitations to eat break in the Kingdom actually turn it down because of worldly distractions. Again the message is clear. 'Take your focus off the blessedness of <i>others</i> in the future Messianic Kingdom; but concern yourself with the very real possibility that you <i>yes you yourself</i> may actually turn down the invitation to be there because you're too caught up with the things of this world'. See on Lk. 14:25.</p>
