The Table, Week 1

The question of where we belong follows us far beyond the school lunchroom and into every season of life. In Luke 5, Jesus approaches Levi, a despised tax collector, and invites him in with two simple words: follow me. Jesus did not see Levi for who he had become but for who he could become. After saying yes, Levi threw a banquet and filled his table with the very people society had written off. Jesus sat with all of them, because wherever He is, everyone is welcome. Your life is a table, and people around you are waiting to be invited. The same invitation that changed Levi is extended to you, and through you, to everyone in your life.
