Gathering together to eat is part of our spiritual fellowship. The food we eat nourishes our flesh and blood. On the other hand, through this food we also grow spiritually when we sit down to eat together and praise God.
The Lord Jesus himself used to eat with his disciples and through this he taught them that through eating together we can improve our spiritual relationship.
When we sit down to eat together, our love and compassion for each other increases and we can get to know each other better.
In today’s busy life, we all prepare for different meals. But we need to remember that by sitting down to eat together, we can also improve family relationships. Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about eating together.
