Kristopher R Whitby: Come and Be Filled: Feasting with Jesus in His Word, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Scripture recounts many noteworthy meals, especially when Jesus sat at table with people during His earthly ministry. But meals are more than just food--they are a point of community, both with other humans and with our God.
Come and Be Filleddraws the reader into significant turning points in God's story of salvation that happened at meals. Reflecting on these scriptural passages, we see that our everyday meals are more sacred than we might think. As we in prayer invite Christ to be our guest and bless our food, He draws near and brings the blessing of Himself and His grace to all at our tables.
The Christian hospitality we show when we include others at our tables gives us opportunities to bring Christ to one another and to those who don't yet know Him. In particular, the book explores how the Lord's Supper--the pinnacle of God's merciful feeding of His people--transforms our thinking about meals and community.
Discussion questions at the end of each chapter will be provided for individual reflection or group study.
