This Meal Is Not Hard to Find

God’s covenant with us is one in which He swears and oath that we are His people and He is our God. This is not true of those who are outside of His covenant walls. But you cannot see God’s covenant. His covenant cannot be weighed on a scale. For this reason, God has given us signs and seals of His covenant. He did not want His covenant sneaking around in the dark. He did not want His covenant to be a secret, unidentifiable to the public.

So while His covenant is spiritual and invisible in one sense, it is physical and displayed for all the world to see in another. As the rainbow was the sign of God’s covenant of grace in Noah’s day, stretched out for all the world to see, so this bread and wine are His sign for us in the new covenant. And here it is, displayed on the table. While all of your attempts to find the end of the rainbow have merely revealed its illusory character, this meal is not hard to find. And neither is our proclamation of the death of Christ found here at this table.

It follows that you must live as God’s spiritual and physical people. What Christ has done, you must proclaim. Darkness covered Jerusalem while He hung on the cross. But as the great reformation motto goes, Post Tenebrus Lux, after darkness light. There will be many who insist that you keep your light to yourselves. There will be many who insist that you shine only a spiritual light. But Jesus died in the flesh. He rose in the flesh. He ascended in the flesh. And you are His body, which now comes to partake of His body. Let your faith be the genuine kind of faith, the kind that work subdues kingdoms, obtains promises, and stops the mouths of lions. Come in that faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
