What does the Bible say about calling the needy?

In Luke 14:12-14, Jesus emphasizes the importance of calling those who are marginalized and in need rather than those who can repay favors. This reflects His mission to reach the needy and helpless. The poor in spirit, those who acknowledge their inability and reliance on God's grace, are the ones who should be invited to partake in the Gospel meal, symbolizing their need for Christ's saving grace. By inviting these individuals, we embody the spirit of humility and grace that defines true Christian fellowship.
