The Scandalous Party

The implication of Jesus' table fellowship habits was crucifixion for him and the birth of the most incredible movement in human history. Christianity continues to grow around the globe 2000 years later with this message: there's a place for you at His table. The scandal for us: his radical inclusivity. The table is open and the dinner party is full of tax collextors, prostitutes, drunks, and gluttons, right-brainers, left-brainers, and even a few half-brainers like me. There are no private tables at this feast. There is room for everyone except those who insist upon an invitation list smaller than His. Jesus: unbound, unconfined, unleashed, uninhibited, untamed, unbelievable. May the party of Christ continue to grow!
