The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' (Lk 7:31-37)

This is one of the oldest charges against Jesus made by good religious folks attacking the Lord’s table ministry. Of course, there are church folks who still attack that table ministry and want to prevent the “tax collectors and sinners” from getting too close. Perhaps we all should remember that it’s not OUR table, it’s not OUR invitation. It’s the Table of the Lord, and it’s the Lord who does the inviting. We celebrate today the first martyrs of Korea (1791-1888).
