One of the
controversial practices Jesus was faulted for was his insistence on sharing the
dinner table with anyone who wanted to join him there. The religious leaders
described Jesus’ guests as ‘tax collectors and sinners,’ for which Jesus made
no apology. It is those who don’t have it ‘all together’ that God is drawing to
Himself and eating together, building relationships, is the among the main ways
Jesus reaches out to those who were once strangers. This model of spending time
together around the table is still one of the most effective means for building
Christ-centered relationships today.
