Sent by the Father

Can a meal change your life? The Gospel of John says that Jesus came “eating and drinking.” Of course, he came to give his life as a ransom on the cross, but his method of sharing the good news centered around ordinary food and drink—wine at a wedding, bread in the desert, dinner around a table, grilled fish on a campfire. For Jesus, ordinary meals eaten with sinners represented something bigger. They represented a new world and a new kingdom, and that’s why his critics called him a “friend of sinners.” Take your place at the table and discover that a meal with Jesus changes everything.
