Your Table is Ready - June 23, 2019

You may be the cook in your house. You may also be the breadwinner and, depending on your income, eat out more than in. Any meal is a good thing. Any time a meal is set for us we are happy. Food is a blessing in this world, not a given. Whenever we can share it, even across the kitchen table with our family, it takes on the aspects of a feast.

When Jesus sets the table, and serves himself as the main course, the rest of us receive the perfect feast but we are not off the hook. I am not talking about the dishes! Jesus gives himself to the world as food. Then He asks and expects His disciples to do the same. How do we do this? In a hungry world, we do not have to go far to make an offering of ourselves. Every time a charitable organization solicits our help, we have an opportunity to write a check, serve a meal or make ourselves available in some other way. All of us will find ourselves at God’s banquet being served by Christ. Will we do His bidding and help Him serve?
