Table

Table

The Table is the Lord’s own Table that He refers to when He says, “And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (Lk. 22:29-30). The gatherings around this Table shape the course of history in more profound and permanent ways than gatherings of any other kind, including those of kings, presidents or prime ministers, parliaments and congresses. Priestly gatherings at the Table are primary and fundamental to subsequent kingly gatherings in the life of the City of God. To eat at this Table is to experience the relaxed, authentic, fully human way that the Father has chosen to administrate the universe. It makes the governing of all things a divine-human family business, conducted in an atmosphere of celebration and joy. At this Table the destiny of all things in heaven and earth is first revealed, discussed and implemented. Such legends as the Arthurian Round Table have tapped into the nobility, honor and glory of this Table.
