What's
one of your all-time favorite foods? How often do you eat it?
(Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, page
1437).
Ever
wonder why Jesus chose the Last Supper—supper—as the vehicle of
Christian remembrance? One reason besides the ingrained existence of
the Passover itself is in my view the communal nature of eating.
When
I was mentoring children the most favorite thing we liked to do was
eat together. Food is a great leveler—a testimony to our equality
within the human family. We all equally need to eat and we all
equally enjoy eating—salivation before good food is universal and
the savoring of food unites all mankind irrespective of sometimes
ugly dividers. Let us commune and chow down together often.
