Food is everyday life. Every culture eats and is central to the culture it comes from. When we are sad, we eat, when we are happy we eat, when we celebrate we eat, when we remember people, we eat. Eating brings people together across cultures, across religions and across the street. I want to celebrate this fact by having a day dedicated to food and eating.
Biblically, we regularly eat meals with others to invite them into the community of God. Meals are a daily reminder of our common need for God and his faithfulness to provide both physically and spiritually. Jesus called us to remember him and his sacrifice for us through a meal. When we eat together, we commune around this truth. We regularly eat meals with those not in our immediate family or circle of close friends, discipling them toward a life of dependence on God. (Leviticus 23; Matthew 6:11; 26:17-30; Acts 2:46-47; Romans 12:13)
