A shared meal could be the activity most closely tied to the reality of God’s kingdom, just as it is the most basic expression of hospitality. It comes as no surprise that many significant stories of Jesus are centered around a dinner table.

The Mayor of a town and his wife were walking down main street when she noticed a foreman on a construction site. Quietly she said to her husband, the mayor, I dated that guy in High School. The mayor smugly said, “If you would have married him instead of me you’d be married to a construction worker.” To which his wife replied, “If I would have married him, he’d be the mayor!”

Recently I saw a tiktok video where a woman found a hamburger in her closet that had been there for twenty-four years! After almost a quarter of a century the burger still looked very much in tact. The bread had never cracked or molded and the meat had never degraded. Perhaps the food industry has focused more on food as a product than they have the nourishment value of food itself.

Luke 5:27-32 (ESV)- After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything, he rose and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them. And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”Repentance is not a negative word.
