There Are No Worthy People at This Table

Why the Last Supper is an invitation, not a reward

There is a detail in the Last Supper that is easy to miss.

Not because it is hidden, but because we have grown so used to the story. We have heard it so many times that we assume we already understand it.

But when you slow down and study the scene, something begins to stand out.

Jesus knows.

He knows what is about to happen. He knows who will betray him. He knows who will deny him. He knows that the people sitting around the table, the ones who have followed him, listened to him, and trusted him, are about to fail him in ways they do not yet understand.

And still, he invites them.
