One benefit and challenge of the gospel is the invitation to see the world through different eyes. Christ challenged his hearers to view the world with imagination—a sense of God-inspired wonder. The seed in front of you may look like a mustard seed, but according to Jesus, we can see it as the kingdom of God. With a little imagination, the most commonplace, lifeless objects can signify something powerful and awesome.
These sessions challenge us to apply gospel lenses and holy imagination to what literally gives us energy to live: food. With a little imagination, we can develop a theology of food—an understanding of how something as basic as food shapes our relationships with God and each other. A Christian theology of food challenges us to care for and support those who are hungry. With God’s grace, we have the opportunity to imagine communities where tables are large and all are fed.
