Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Revelation 3:20

What does it mean to eat with someone? Maybe if it’s the school cafeteria, the work breakroom or the army mess hall, not much. Take what seat you can, with what food you can get and swallow what you can manage before the bell rings and you run back to your duties.

But at home, meals have a meaning. Jesus asks us for hospitality. Can we answer the door, invite him in and share a meal? Jesus is at the door. Who can turn him away?
