Luke 5:27-39 | Meals as Enacted Grace

Sermon Notes

Preacher: Bill Dumphy

1. v27-28 - Jesus calls Levi
2. v29-30 - Levi makes a great feast and invites “a large company of tax collectors and others”, but the Pharisees don’t like it,
3. v31-32 - Jesus explains that he eats and drinks with sinners because it is those who are sick who need a physician,
4. v33-35 - Jesus goes on to explain why his disciples don’t fast,
5. Grace turns everything upside down

What are the implications of grace turning everything upside down?

• We’ve been personally invited to come as we are to the table and extended the ultimate grace in salvation. This guarantees us a seat at the lamb’s supper table when we are with him in glory.

What are the implications of grace turning everything upside down?

• We are instruments of grace to those apart from Christ. We are to invite them to the lamb’s table and more literally to our table.
