We come, because after Jesus’ death, as before it, there is this meal. A bargaining table for a contract negotiation can be a holy place when justice is served. What we Christians know about justice, about community, about how to value work and workers, we learned from the prophets of ancient Israel and the Rabbi from Nazareth. At the table, from the beginning,  and now for folk like us – who did not know Jesus, who never heard him preach or see him heal, folk who still know of fear and hate and hurt – still are filled with a vision of the Kingdom of God, and with a power that changes lives and heals a world.
