“The wrong first question is, What do we need to do? The right first question is, Who do we need to become?”
~ Benjamin McBride
“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
~Matthew 6: 10
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.”
~Matthew 5:9
In the breaking of the bread, Jesus reveals the value and reality of God’s radical inclusiveness. Each time that Jesus shared a meal, he rebuked the barriers that excluded many which made a few safe and comfortable. Jesus proclaimed through word and deed that all are welcome. As we are radically welcomed to the table of grace this Sunday, we participate in the vision of God’s Shalom. As we leave the table with the taste of wholeness and grace upon our lips, how will we turn to the world and be the bearers of God’s Shalom? You are called to the table. Come, now is the time to be bread for the world.
