Heavenly Food

Jesus said His disciples that some day you will,
“Eat and drink at My table in My kingdom."
Luke 22;30
Today's Bible Reading: Luke 22:24-30.
Some have speculated that Heavenly bodies will not require food for sustenance, but the Lord promised, “I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7). And John gives us a glimpse of this revelation: “On either side of the river stood the tree of life, which bore twelve fruit, each yielding its fruit every month” (Revelation 22:2). This would indicate a bountiful supply from Creator God.
Remember too that when the Lord Jesus appeared to His followers in His glorified body, after His resurrection, He asked them if there was anything to eat. Luke reports that “they gave him a piece of broiled fish … and [He] ate it in their presence” (Luke 24:42–43). It was not that the Lord was hungry, because He was no longer subject to human needs. I believe He ate with them for two reasons: First, to prove His bodily resurrection and second, for fellowship with His disciples. When He was last with them, they fellowship around the table and shared the Passover meal.
After all, what would any celebration, or family reunion be like without food? When the family of God assembles in His kingdom, we will celebrate and enjoy Heaven-blessed food with the Lamb Himself! He will look into the souls gathered around the Lord’s Table, and His heart will be full. “People will come … and will sit in their places at the feast in the kingdom of God” (Luke 13:29).
What a wonderful day that will be. However, before that great and wonderful day, do not overlook every opportunity God gives you to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8).
Prayer: Merciful God, thank You, that through Your Son, I have a place in Heaven, Thank You, that it will be a wonderful day when Your elect, sit down to eat at Your table, and more so, because the Lord Jesus will be there. In His sweet name I thank You. Amen.
