Gathering together for community is at the heart of what it means to be the people of God. But this is not limited to one particular location. The Psalmist will seek God “in the sanctuary”(Ps 63:2) and remember God “as they go to bed”. (Ps 63:6) This is speaks of the daily, weekly, and yearly rhythms of worship in the temple, and in their homes. Gathering together in community is essential for followers of Jesus. Which is why in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus goes from table to table, and party to party. It is during one of these table times that Jesus takes the opportunity to talk about the uniqueness of how Kingdom people will gather. Jesus will speak to some of the barriers that prevent community. And in this, we discover that followers of Jesus are called to a community of humility (v10-11), that invites the uninvited and makes space for ‘the other’. (v12-14) As we look ahead to the future of The Meeting Place, what will it look like for us to gather as the people of Jesus?
