If tables had ears. Have you ever thought about what goes on around the kitchen table? There is a reason the kitchen is referred to as the “heart of the home”. It is not necessarily what is served on top of it, but rather what is shared around and across it. As you think of the kitchen table of your home or the home of your childhood, I’ll bet that every nick, scratch and water mark has a story or memory. They serve as evidence of small children with pudgy fingers that knocked over cups and science projects that bled through the poster board. Coffee cups left sitting as conversations spilled from dusk to dawn or problems solved with tears and hugs. Kitchen tables have served as the setting for many a cherished moment throughout history.
If I could listen to table talk though, I would like to have sat at a table in an upper room in Jerusalem.
“When it was evening, He reclined at table with the twelve.” ~ Matthew 26:20 (ESV)
Take a moment to read about this moment in time when Jesus made the most precious memory for us all when he instituted the Lord’s Supper. Our Lord and Savior knew the value of table talk.
