Philippians 2:5-11
(5) For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus: (6) who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized. (7) Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man. (8) He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross. (9) Because of this, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name, (10) so that, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell, (11) and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
Psalm 22:26-32
(26) My praise is with you, within a great church. I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him. (27) The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who yearn for the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will live forever and ever. (28) All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight. (29) For the kingdom belongs to the Lord, and he will have dominion over the Gentiles. (30) All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground. (30) All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground. (31) And my soul will live for him, and my offspring will serve him. (32) There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.
Luke 14:15-24
(15) When someone sitting at table with him had heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.” (16) So he said to him: “A certain man prepared a great feast, and he invited many. (17) And he sent his servant, at the hour of the feast, to tell the invited to come; for now everything was ready. (18) And at once they all began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a farm, and I need to go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’ (19) And another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you to excuse me.’ (20) And another said, ‘I have taken a wife, and therefore I am not able to go.’ (21) And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame.’ (22) And the servant said: ‘It has been done, just as you ordered, lord, and there is still room.’ (23) And the lord said to the servant: ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to enter, so that my house may be filled. (24) For I tell you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my feast.’ ”
