Break Your Fast

The Christian life is marked by humility at every turn. And that is no more clearly seen than at this table. We come lowly to eat of this bread and drink of this cup.

Saul was struck down to their earth when his pride was in full stride and so it was with us. Saul lost his sight before he gained it and so it was with us. He also went hungry and thirsty for three days before he was filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized. So it was with us. The text goes on to say that afterward he received meat and was strengthened. So it is with us.

As you come to eat this bread and drink this cup do so renouncing all faith in yourself. You are poor, hungry, blind, and lame if left to yourself. All of your strength is found in the Lord of this table.

Paul said that we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, having no confidence in the flesh. Our confidence in the flesh has been cut away, leaving us with only one source of power.

You have abundant need for strength. The duties set before you are manifold and every one of those duties requires an energy that you do not have, a wisdom that you do not have, and a righteousness that you do not have inherently.

But all of the sustenance and more that is required is found in this body and this blood. Put no confidence in your flesh, but do make sure to put all of your confidence in His flesh. Come blind and receive sight here. Break your fast by partaking of this heavenly bread and wine. Come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
