Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it. (Proverbs 15:17 ESV)
Good Food
Many arguments arise about what “GOOD FOOD” really is. Some enjoy McDonald’s, some enjoy Filet Mignon, some enjoy kale, some enjoy strawberries, some enjoy creamed cheese on celery, some enjoy spaghetti, with our without meatballs.
Some enjoy herbs… some enjoy a fattened ox.
But what makes such foods good or not-good is not the food itself.
But rather the community in which it is consumed. The relationship with those we eat with. The context of the meal. The love of family, friends, and fellow believers.
And the best food of all, in that way, is the food we eat celebrating our Lord’s Supper… because therein we are united and uniting in Christ Jesus. Together. Because of His love.
East with those who share Christ’s love… and even raw radishes are eaten with joy.
