The Wrong Table
from Before the Lord · host Blake S. Crawford
In first-century Jewish culture, who you ate with said something about who you were. So when Jesus sat down at a table full of tax collectors and sinners, every Pharisee in the room knew exactly what He was doing — and they were offended. In this episode, we dig into Matthew 9:13 and the scandal of who Jesus chose to eat with. Because the real question isn’t whether you’re worthy of a seat at His table. It’s whether you’ll stop performing your way toward Him and just sit down.Subscribe to receive Before theLord devotionals in your inbox: www.blakescrawford.com / Follow Before the Lordon Facebook (@BeforeTheLord) and Instagram (@beforethelorddevo)
