Meals with Moral Misfits

The first meal Jesus shares in Luke's Gospel is with a large crowd of tax collectors; much to the dismay of the Pharisees and teachers of the Law. Yet through this meal, Jesus reveals what it truly means to be the friend of sinners.

Series Information
Luke 7:34 says, “The Son of Man came eating and drinking.” Indeed, a major feature of Luke’s Gospel is that Jesus is usually going to a meal, at a meal, or coming from a meal. If you love to eat, Luke is your Gospel. But wait a minute. The meals of Jesus represent something bigger. They represent a new world, a new kingdom, a new outlook. But they also give that new reality substance. Jesus’s meals are not just symbols; they’re application. They’re not just pictures; they’re the real thing in miniature. They’re social occasions. They represent friendship, community, and welcome. In them Jesus shows us how to live, how to teach, and how to respond.
