There are five people from history (recent or long past) that each of us would like to share dinner. the next few posts will cover my five people. I wanted to start off by saying why Jesus is not one of my five.
First of all, God's word says that when two or more are gathered in my (Jesus) name I will be there also. Each of my five counts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. So Jesus is effectively there already.
My other point is that if Jesus was one of the five the other four would be unnecessary. The whole dinner would be focused on our worship of Jesus. There's nothing wrong with that, but it does supercede the original purpose of the dinner.
Make no mistake. Our faith would be an important topic at the table. It just wouldn't be the only one we covered. That said, I hope you will continue to read these next few posts and consider who your five would be.
