A Toast to the Death of Doubt

The Lord’s Table is a declaration of war against unbelief. This table is where doubts go to die. At it, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. And the proclamation we make is not like that made by some misguided legislator who thinks he can fabricate standards according to his own will and mind. Those standards are vacuous, groundless, vain, and without authority. We, however, proclaim a historical fact that holds history itself together. We declare an event that informs every other event. 

The death of the Son of God grounds reality as we know it. To commune with Christ in His death is to be a true human, to know and enjoy the truth, to have the lights turned on. To not partake at this table is to be lost in the starless night, to flee away from life itself, to starve and die. 

Even so, this table will not leave unbelief alone. Doubt does not hound this table. But this table does hound doubt. Like our Lord, this table is no respecter of persons. It looks to vanquish doubt wherever it is found. So you must come welcoming the death of whatever doubt remains in you. Advent season reminds us that we commune with the Lord who has come. He is here whether man recognizes Him or not.

It is not as if this table needs your faith. It is your faith that needs this table. It is not as if man found and flipped the switch that called forth our Lord’s Advent. No, Christ has come. Christ has died. Here He is and what will you do? Well, there’s only one thing for you to do. Come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
