I am not the world's best cook, and I often hate preparing meals, especially so when entertaining. Often at these times, I think of how caring Jesus was in making sure people had refreshment and nourishment. Making bread and fish multiply to feed thousands. Turning water into wine. Cooking fish for his disciples.
Then I think of how far short I sometimes come in my attitude to caring for others and in being hospitable. It would behove me to think of Him as I ask myself the inevitable question on what to cook for dinner...and to train myself to be grateful for my food as I cook and eat it...
It is sobering to remember that the Son of God Who left the glories of Heaven, didn't think He was above the noble pursuit of cooking and serving meals to others...
Jesus tells us that He will serve food and drink to us when He takes us to Heaven: what a mind blowing experience that will be... Something we can ponder on and look forward to as we labour in our own kitchens... Jesus our Saviour and Master Chef!
