“He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.” Luke 19:7, NLT)
“Zacchaeus needed Jesus. He needed Him so much, he was willing to make a spectacle of himself just to get a glimpse of the Man. He climbed up into that sycamore fig tree, high above the crowd who wanted to put him down. And it worked – Jesus saw him.
No matter what you could give up, Jesus gave up more – and He did it for you. So, if you get a chance to sit at His table – even if your invitation is addressed to the Biggest Sinner of All – make sure you don’t miss it. Be His guest.
Prayer: Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner. Amen.

So wonderful to think of His table in this way.
And . . . my kids were in Beauty and the Beast, so I read your title and the big number with all the cast, cutlery, and teapot singing to Belle came rushing into my head. 🙂
Michele, I love it as the movie, and song, also came to my mind when I was writing 🙂
We never know when we may be entertaining angels.
Great thought-provoking words this morning! Thank you!
That He wants to eat and fellowship with me is mind-blowing. How ridiculous of me to be too busy or distracted to do so.
I love that Jesus loves our weirdest selves. I love that He continually encourages us NOT to fit in with the crowd, but with Him.
What a wonderful post! I was just reading about a similar topic yesterday. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this deep thought. Thank you for this special reminder to sit with the King of Kings!
It’s so amazing that he invites us to his table, isn’t it? Sometimes I need to be reminded of that.
