My favorite book says that human beings can be “partakers of the divine nature.” (Partake means to “eat or drink something.”) It also says, “O taste and see that the Lord is good.”
Once Jesus’ disciples encouraged Him to eat something, but He replied saying, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” His disciples asked each other: “Could someone have brought him food?” Then Jesus said: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work.”
My favorite food is letting my heart partake of, feast on, and savor the amazing presence of the living, resurrected Jesus. He turns the water of my daily existence into the wine of actually experiencing His presence living and working in and through me.
When I surrender to Christ in me and do His will as He prompts me, He leads me and empowers me to partake of the gifts and the fruit of His Spirit. That’s how I taste and see that the Lord is good!
Here’s how to partake of Jesus. Open your heart and let Him fill you up with His presence and power. (The Christian sacraments can be helpful, but they’re no substitute for partaking of the real presence of the risen Jesus. Too often people eat the wafer and drink the juice without actually taking in the living Jesus.)
