Breaking Bread
Around real tables, with real food and real people, Jesus makes God's grace visible. At Levi's crowded table He eats with outcasts. He feeds thousands in a desolate place. He breaks bread with grieving disciples who cannot recognise Him. Each meal points somewhere: to a kingdom feast paid for by His death, where very different people become one family. You do not earn a seat at that table. Jesus welcomes those who cannot repay Him, and His followers can do the same by opening their homes and their friendships to people they might otherwise avoid.
