DAY 5 OF 6

I'M COMING TO YOUR PLACE

Did you know tables can be places of transformation? Jesus did. In his short time on earth Jesus spent a lot of time ministering around tables having "dinners with sinners." Jesus was the kind of guy who got invited to weddings and meals with people from all spheres of society. People mattered to Jesus, and he didn’t just eat with them, but the meal table provided the atmosphere where he could really listen and engage with people. It was a place of transformation.

In 2021, we are more technologically connected, but more alone than ever before. In a lonely generation, the need for real connection has never been greater. If there’s anything for us to learn about the life of Jesus, it’s that he built meaningful and lasting relationships. If we are to embrace the life of Jesus, then we must also be people who build meaningful and lasting relationships with one another. 

WWJD? Jesus spent time with everyone—not just the "cool" or "acceptable" crowd. As a society we tend to be more prone to exclusivity not inclusivity, but it’s not our job to filter—that job is left to God. If we are to live like Jesus, we may have to throw away some of the filters we create about who we can hang out with and simply open the invitation wide! 

Don’t underestimate the power of your invitation. As you take time to invite, then to listen and engage with someone over a meal, they will experience the love of Jesus. So today, as you read the key scriptures ask yourself: who could I invite to be part of my life? Who could I share a meal with this week? 

Let’s be kingdom-minded people who connect with people—all people—not just who we see as the cool crowd. Take time to hang out with people, share a meal, and really listen to them. You’ll be surprised just how powerful that can be. 

Your table can be a place of transformation!

About this Plan

W W J D

WWJD—more than a bracelet or a bumper sticker, it’s a way of life. In this devotional we ask one fundamental question: "What Would Jesus Do?" As we uncover the life of Jesus, what lessons can he teach us about how he lived, what he spent his time doing, and who he shared his life with? We will be inspired to look at our own lives and ask: WWJD?
