Come Hungry: Dinner Is Served

Have you ever been mingling with people before a banquet or you're at someone's home making small talk for thirty minutes, when all of a sudden the hostess appears and says those three magic words: "Dinner is served!" But we get excited because our tendency is to fixate on the word "dinner" rather than the word "serve." That was the expectation around the table as Jesus and His disciples gathered in the Upper Room to partake of the Last Supper. The Passover meal was the most important meal and celebration for the Jewish community. However, before they were served dinner, they were humbly served by their Master, Jesus.
