It's a Food Driven Book

I get to arrange speakers to share their local insights with interested groups that not only want to volunteer in the community but learn while they're at it. A few summers ago, a local pastor and good friend was asked to speak to a group. He declared, the Bible is a food driven book. I lost all train of thought and focused in. Yes!
It starts in a Garden. In some ways, eating starts the whole SIN thing. It ends in a big party. There are countless feasts along the way. Jesus brings the wine to a wedding feast. When their aren't enough guests the servants were told to get folks off the street. It's beautiful.
What could be less violent? Sitting together and eating. What a great expression of Christ's call to peace. "Eat and drink and Remember me." Ok.
