Table of Provision

At this table we fellowship with God and that should settle all of our fears. If we commune with Him through the body and blood of His Son, how could we worry that He will not meet our every need? At this table, our Lord says, “This is my body broken for you.” And “this is my blood shed for you.” These words from our Lord call to mind the words of Paul from another place, “If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things (Romans 8:32)?

This generosity of our Heavenly Father gives birth to our generosity toward each other. He has abundantly provided and so we overflow to meet each other’s needs. He has covered our sins and so we cover each other’s sins. He has been merciful to us and so we in turn are merciful one toward another.

As the year behind us comes to a close and we look to the year ahead, it is true that we do not know the steps our Lord has allotted for us. Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: But the LORD directeth his steps.” And for this we are grateful. It is one thing to plan, but thank the LORD that He executes your actual movements.

He does not do so arbitrarily, but according to His covenant with us, in which He has sworn to be our God, restore our souls, and hound us with goodness and mercy all the days of our lives. These covenant promises, He has sealed to us in this cup, the blood of the new covenant. So come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
