Meals On Wheels

Isn't it amazing how the simplest foods can be the most satiafying. Maybe it was just the company, but today for lunch Paul, Matt, and I shared soup and bread and it was perfect. I would rather have had that simple meal than a 5 course, gourmet meal. It also got me thinking about the meals that Jesus ate with His disciples and anyone else who would join Him for that matter. What strikes me is how natural it was: Jesus and those He loved lounging around a table dipping bread together, sharing company, and talking about the Kingdom. Is this not the most straightforward imagery of what we are to do in this life - to join together with anyone who will have us and share basic needs, extend true love, and talk about the Kingdom? Is the great banquet table to come not the perfect image of what we are to do on this earth?
