“The son of man has come eating and drinking...” Luke 7:34a. Eating a meal together means something. When we share a meal together, it is likely with someone we call friend or someone who is on the way towards becoming a friend. In fact, it has been said that, “An enemy is someone you haven’t yet eaten with.”

Jesus knew the connection that happens when people eat together. It’s why in the gospel of Luke, he spends a great deal of time inviting himself and others to dinner. And when Jesus shares a meal, it’s not just about nutrition. Dinner with Jesus models the kingdom of God. Dinner with Jesus connects saint and sinner at the table and reminds us that we all bear the image of God.

In this series we will look at some of the meals Jesus shared with people in the gospel of Luke. And we will discover how we can connect, grow, and serve through the breaking of bread.
