The Pharisees constantly attacked Jesus' table.
But Jesus said about this, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”
The meaning of this is simple.
Jesus equated his act of eating with someone with the act of a doctor healing the sick.
It was a restoration and a salvation.
A meal with Jesus gives life to those who are called sinners and raises them up.
It is amazing how one meal can free a person from the shackles of constant sin.

Perhaps salvation is the process of creating countless new, unexpected "friends." Isn't it salvation when people who would otherwise be incompatible expand their "friendships" and eat and drink together? Isn't that why Jesus proclaimed salvation in homes, not in the temple? After all, the temple is always filled with unchanging "friends."
Salvation is achieved through variations of the same.
The variation of Kiri is ultimately about breaking down boundaries.
It is about crossing the daunting cliff that was once said, “You can’t do it!”
It is to make the cold prohibition of “You can’t go beyond here!” into nothing.
It tells us what a blessed sign of salvation it is that those who would never have been together are sitting together.

Every table of Jesus is not simply a place to fill one's stomach, but a sign of experiencing salvation.
The table Jesus shared with tax collectors and sinners is a continuation of these signs.
Jesus was always eating with someone, so much so that he was nicknamed 'Glutton'.
But his table was unusual.
He ate with sinners and had no interest in the laws of purity that governed eating.
For this reason, Jesus' table was always on the chopping block of the Pharisees.
Because his table was dirty.
Those who could not see the target saw Jesus, but knew nothing.
They brought Jesus to death and took pleasure in it.
On the other hand, those who saw the target did not give up following Jesus even after his death.
On that path of suffering, they must have tried to live the life of Jesus.

Meeting someone's needs does not mean eating and drinking abundantly and excessively.
It is to provide those who cannot afford even the bare minimum, with the basic necessities of life.
It is to ensure that there are no poor people in the community, that is, no one whose basic needs are not met.
In a time of poverty, people gathered under the name of a church, selling their possessions and property to meet the needs of others and eliminate the needy from their congregation! The church was a miraculous gathering.
Moreover, anyone could come to this church.
Regardless of gender, race, or social status.
It was possible because Jesus removed the boundaries.

Even without some great miracle or amazing power, the work of the disciples can become the work of Jesus through the sign of feeding.
An open table where anyone can come, a warm table where no questions are asked, like the table at the Sea of ​​Tiberias, through which disciples grow and the life of Jesus continues.
With God, who follows his people wherever and whenever.
