Back to the table

Since Adam and Eve, table fellowship has been fractured: I push my own chair away (“I’m not worthy”), I push others away (hurt feelings, conflicts), I push God away (false images of God, such as a punishing or indifferent God).

The way back is not one we can walk on our won. The way back is the cross and Jesus’ words, “Father, forgive them.” Christ pushes your chair back towards the table and says, “You are so precious.” He wants to give you the strength to take the first step towards your neighbor. And on the cross, God reveals Himself as Love itself and asks, “Will you allow Me to sit at your table again?” (CA Mutschler, Germany 2026)
