Luk 14:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : Jesus also spoke to the man who had invited everyone to the meal. He said not to invite only friends, family, or rich neighbors who can pay you back. Doing good just to receive good in return is not real generosity. Many people invite others just to show off or to get something back, but this is not what God wants (Luke 14:12; Proverbs 22:16 ; Esther 1:3
