Pull Up a Seat


“He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.”

Acts 10:41




“...by us who ate and drank with Him...”

One characteristic of intimate fellowship between people is that they eat together frequently.  

In church circles we might say that they ‘break bread together’.

As a matter of fact one often hears of people decrying the breakdown of the family by the fact that they do not sit down together for a meal anymore.

It is indicative of more than simply a social engagement where we eat food.

It can be a time of knitting together hearts in common purpose and vision, a time for catching up on the day’s activities or just an unwinding of the stresses

 de jour with those who are special in our lives.

So it is that Peter using the example of those who ate and drank with Jesus after His resurrection to be His witnesses to that same fact.

Have you spent that time with Jesus today?

Have you broken bread with Him in intimate fellowship to catch up with His plans and purposes for your life?

Have you given Him the time to cast vision for your days yet to be walked out serving Him?

Pull up a seat and sit a spell and listen...He wants to share His heart with you today!
