With whom did Jesus eat? (Vol 3 No 49)
With whom did Jesus eat? (Vol 3 No 49)
What would we think of Jesus now?
What would we think today
If Jesus walked the streets of town?
If Jesus came our way?
Befriending ‘sinners’ was his style;
He did not measure blame;
But many of the Pharisees
Were quick to judge and shame.
He ate with ‘sinners’ – those unclean
Who did not keep the law;
By doing so he too became
Unclean - one to abhor!
He also ate with thieves and rogues;
The ones who worked for Rome;
With tax collectors, sinful rich;
Shared meals within their home.
For Jesus, table fellowship
Was how he opened wide
The call to uncondit’nal love;
He left not one outside.
Let us take heed of Jesus’ style,
With whom he shared a meal;
He always used each time and place
To share his love with zeal.
