Table Fellowship

Jesus was constantly getting flack from the religious crowd about who he ate with. In their day "table fellowship" was very important. The people that you included at your table defined you. Jesus chose to surround himself with the hurting, poor, weak, and marginalized.

Now for the convicting question... How many of us will have people at our dinner table in our homes this year who are hurting, poor, weak, marginalized, of another race/culture, or of a different religious perspective? We can't get around this by saying that we give money to others who are doing this ministry. May we all be challenged this year (including my family) to have our guest list more resemble Jesus' on several occasions!
