The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Theres a very nice book called “A Meal with Jesus” ´by Tim Chester which gives wonderful practical insights into the Mission of Jesus and the messages behind the meals. Its not a CS book but it does give some wonderful ideas about how Jesus´mission was reflected in the meals and what was happening there. It really gives “Food for Thought”

    Below is a list of Meals with Jesus from the Book of Luke:

    5:27-39 Banquet at Levi’s House Tax Collectors and Sinners
    “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

    7:36-50 Dinner at Simon the Pharisee’s House Pharisees, Guests and the Sinful Woman “Your sins are forgiven.”

    9:10-17 Breaking Bread at Bethsaida
    “You give them something to eat.”

    10:38-42 Hospitality at the House of Martha
    “Mary has chosen what is better.”

    11:37-54 Noon Meal at a Pharisee’s House
    “You clean the outside of the cup, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.”

    14:1-24 Sabbath dinner at a Pharisee’s House
    “When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.”

    19:1-10 Hospitality at the House of Zacchaeus
    “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

    22:7-38 Breaking Bread at the Passover Meal
    “And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them.”

    24:13-35 Breaking Bread at Emmaus
    Jesus was “made known to them in the breaking of the bread.”

    24:36-53 Supper with the Disciples
    “You are witnesses of these things.”
