“Table Fellowship”
Have you ever stopped to consider how many times it is recorded in Scripture that Jesus ate with people. Jesus went to dinner at Matthew’s house. He went to dinner at Simon the Pharisee’s house. He had dinner at the home of a man known as Simon the Leper. On the Saturday before Palm Sunday he had dinner with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in Bethany. This is just to mention a few. The Pharisees once came to Jesus’ disciples and asked, Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners? (Matthew 9:11)
