To impact the lowest you need to reach the highest.
Luke 14
Jesus didn’t solely focus on the poor and the helpless. To change the culture then the changers, the leaders, the rulers have to be changed.
We need the body of Christ there in the high places, in the homes of the movers and shakers.
1. Who is higher in authority to you that needs the Gospel? Maybe you should try and get a meal with them? v1
2. Remember wherever you go, whatever you do, people are watching. The words you use, the actions you take, it’s all being monitored. v1
3. Though you may be on a higher level for a moment always be prepared to stoop down to those who suffer. v2
4. Be prepared to break protocol. If reaching the sufferer offends culture then so be it. v3
5. Seek permission to offend. It shows that you care if the easily offended do get offended. If permission is not forthcoming and the sufferer is waiting then go with the sufferer. v3
