Verse from Luke

“到了吃饭的时候，他拿起饼来，感谢了，擘开递给他们，”

路加福音 24:30  

“When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them.”

Luke 24:30 

Scholars say Jesus’s meals weren’t random. Theologian Mark Glanville calls them “the delightful ‘second course’” of Israel’s feasts and celebrations in the Old Testament. At the table, Jesus lived what God had intended Israel to be: “a center of joy, celebration and justice for the whole world.” 

From the feeding of 5,000, to the Last Supper—even to the meal with two believers after His resurrection (Luke 24:30)—the table ministry of Jesus invites us to stop our constant striving and abide in Him. Indeed, not until eating with Jesus did the two believers recognize Him as the risen Lord. “He took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened” (vv. 30–31) to the living Christ.

Make time to eat the Bread of Life.
