So that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones.

A place at the table
On the last evening the disciples got into an argument about who was the greatest. Of all moments. Jesus said: the kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, but I am among you as he that serveth.
And straight afterwards he says something surprising. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. I give you a place at my table. After their quarrel they get no reproach, but a promise.
Question for today
What place am I looking for, when Jesus has already given me a place at his table?
Prayer
Lord, sometimes I fight for a place. Thank you that you have already given me a place at your table. Let that make me calm. Amen.
