At the Table

Jesus used the images of mercy to express how it is that we receive him or how it is that we reject him in daily life.

I was hungry and you gave me food,

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,

I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

I was naked and you gave me clothing,

I was sick and you took care of me,

I was in prison and you visited me.

Matthew 25

Last Sunday four members David Hagan, Katie Ricks, Glenn Branson and Nancy Taylor told of their personal experience with a least one of these mercies. They could each have spoken longer for there is much to tell. I can imagine that those members and friends sitting in the pews were also thinking of those moments in life where they offered, received, or witnessed one of these mercies.

"I was hungry and you fed me." Where have you experienced this act of mercy? Feeding? Being fed? Witnessing one feeding another? Click Comment below and tell your story.

PS

This week I have been in correspondence with artist, Jeremiah Patterson, who created watercolors of each of these mercies. One (I was naked and you clothed me...) appeared on our bulletin cover. It also appears here. You can see all seven of these on his web site at: http://www.jeremiahpatterson.com/sevenacts.html
