What the Bible Actually Says

SHORT STUDY - "The God Who Eats With Everyone": The Cosmic Significance of Mealtime in the Kingdom of God


Listen Later

What if the Kingdom of God isn’t just a courtroom or a battlefield—but a banquet? In this short study episode of What the Bible Actually Says, Dr Tyson Putthoff explores one of Jesus’ most powerful but often overlooked images for God’s character and reign: a table where everyone has a seat.

Whether you’ve been listening from the start or just pulling up a seat now, this short study is a perfect reminder of what Jesus’ table really looks like. It’s not about proving yourself. It’s about accepting an invitation. And it’s about making room for someone else—even the person you’d never expect. Because in Jesus’ Kingdom, no one eats alone.

Whether rich or poor, powerful or overlooked, Jesus’ invitation is simple: pull up a chair, sit with him, and make room for someone else. With stories from Luke’s Gospel, references to Matthew and Mark, and even a little Seinfeld thrown in, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to prove your worth to be welcomed—you just have to accept the invitation.
