Jesus' Table Fellowship

In the Bible, we often find Jesus eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners. Because of this, he earned the reputation of being a "glutton and a drunkard" (Matthew 11:19) and "a friend of sinners" (Luke 7:34).

However, this table fellowship of Jesus isn't about food and drink but is rather a call to conversion. He dines with sinners not to condemn them but to call them to a new way of life. He eats and drinks with sinners to offer us the banquet that truly satisfies.
