Kristopher Whitby: At the Table with Jesus, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Scripture is filled with many noteworthy meals, especially when Jesus sat at table with people during His earthly ministry. But meals are more than just food--they are a point of community, both with other humans and with our God. The Christian hospitality shown when others are included at our tables gives us opportunities to bring Christ to one another and to those who don't yet know Him. At the Table with Jesus draws the reader into significant turning points in God's story of salvation that happened at meals. Reflecting on these scriptural passages, readers will see that our everyday meals are more sacred than they might think. As Christ is invited to be ar guest and bless the food, He draws near and brings the blessing of Himself and His grace to all at our tables. In particular, At the Table with Jesus explores how the Lord's Supper--the pinnacle of God's merciful feeding of His people--transforms how meals and community are considered. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter provide for individual reflection or group study.
