One of the greatest graces we share is a meal. This week has been a blessing for me as I've been able to share a meal with friends a few times. Monday it was in our home. Last night it was with the team leaders from our church. This was our way of thanking them for their efforts while we were away. Friday I get to go and share a meal with the officers of my Army unit.
When Jesus shared meals with people from his community he was often criticised. He was told off for being a glutton and a drunkard. He associated with people that the relious and elite didn't like. But in sharing the meal he showed acceptance, grace, forgiveness, love, friendship, peace and community.
Lives were transformed by eating bread and having a laugh together. Pretty simple, hey.
