Peter W. Marty preaches on food. Where would we be without food? It doesn’t matter what you eat, every meal is sacramental. If the disciples were looking for God to be some kind of wispy spiritual being or a metaphor or a ghost, what they get instead is the Lord of Heaven and Earth in the flesh, capable of being hurt and of spilling tears. We must guard against simply intellectualizing our faith. Our bodies are central to faith and nothing speaks to life quite like eating.
