Gen Z: Luke 14
1So, like, Jesus rolls up to this Pharisee's crib to grab some bread on the Sabbath, and they’re all just watching him, sus vibes.
2Then, peep this, there’s this dude with dropsy chilling in front of him.
3Jesus straight up asks the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it cool to heal on the Sabbath?"
4They went silent. Jesus took the dude, healed him, and was like, "You’re good, fam."
5He’s like, "Which one of you wouldn’t pull your donkey or ox outta a pit on the Sabbath? No cap."
6They were shook and had no reply for him, fr.
7Jesus dropped a parable for the guests, noticing how they were picking the top spots, saying,
8"When you get invited to a wedding, don’t snag the VIP seat; what if someone more lit shows up?"
9"Then the host will be like, 'Yo, move down,' and you’ll be feeling hella embarrassed."
10"But for real, sit in the low-key spot; then when the host shows up, he’ll be like, 'Yo, come up higher,' and you’ll be vibing with the crew."
11Whoever thinks they’re all that is gonna get put in their place; but if you keep it humble, you’ll rise up.
12He told the dude who invited him, "When you throw a dinner, don’t just call your homies or fam; don’t expect them to return the favor."
13But when you throw a feast, invite the poor, the broken, the lame, and the blind; that’s the real vibe check.
14You’ll be blessed for sure; they can’t repay you, but you’ll get your rewards when the good peeps rise up.
15One of the guys chillin' at the table heard this and said, "For real, blessed are those who get to eat in God’s kingdom."
16Then he dropped this: "A certain dude threw a big dinner and invited a bunch of people."
17He sent his servant at dinner time to tell those invited, "Yo, everything’s ready, come through!"
18But everyone started making excuses. The first guy said, "I just bought some land, gotta check it out, no cap."
19Another said, "I just copped five oxen, gotta test them out, please let me slide."
20And another dude was like, "I just got married, so I can’t make it."
21So the servant pulled up and told his boss what’s good. The master got mad and was like, “Bet, go hit the streets and grab the poor, the broken, the lame, and the blind.”
22The servant was like, “Aight, I did what you said, but we still got space, no cap.”
23The lord told the servant, “Go out to the highways and hedges and make sure they pop off to my crib, so it’s lit.”
24For real, I’m telling you, none of those who were invited are gonna vibe with my feast.
25A bunch of people were rolling with him, and he turned to them and said,
26“If anyone wants to roll with me but doesn’t hate their fam and even their own life, they can’t be my ride or die.”
27“And if you don’t carry your cross and follow me, you can’t be my homie.”
28“Which one of you, trying to build a tower, doesn’t sit down first and check if you got the coins to finish it?”
29“Otherwise, once you lay the foundation and can’t finish, everyone’s gonna roast you.”
30“They’ll be like, ‘This dude started building but couldn’t even finish, sus.’”
31Like, what king goes into battle without checking if he can roll up with ten thousand against twenty thousand? Major sus vibes.
32If not, while the other squad is still far away, he sends a squad to ask for peace. Straight up smart move.
33So, for real, if you ain't ready to drop everything you got, you can't roll with me as my disciple. No cap.
34Salt is lit, but if it loses its flavor, what’s the point? Like, fr, how do you season anything then?
35It ain't good for the land or the trash; people just toss it out. If you got ears, listen up.
