There is a custom, I don't know who started it or where, that serious things should be discussed at dinner. You should clean yourself up, tidy your fingernails, see that your tie is straight and go to dinner with a few of your chosen guests.
It has become popular at state functions, weddings, funerals, and just plain meetings where things of a current issue are discussed. It is especially popular with the well-to-do who need a reason to dress up occasionally. But people like you and me do it too. It is the dinner. First class. First date.
Jesus Christ used a dinner scenario to tell Peter a parable of something He had just told him that was exremely important. It's all in the first half of Matthew 15.
Matthew 15: 16-20, "And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man."
