Swallow the Hammer

Scripture tells us the Word of God is a fire and a hammer (Jeremiah 23:29). It is a fire to melt cold hearts and a hammer to break hard hearts. The voice of the Lord cracks the cedars of Lebanon in two, says the psalmist. Likewise, this table is a Word, a Word on your tongue. It is God’s sign to us, in which He declares that Christ has been broken for our sins and poured out like a drink offering on our behalf. 

Your reponse to this table should be one of eager expectation that it will work. Whatever is knotted, expect Him to unknot it. Whatever is bent, expect Him to straighten it. You are about to swallow a hammer so don’t be surprised when it starts hammering away in your soul. You will now drink a fire-word so expect it to burn up what needs burning and heat up what needs warming. Trust Him for this grace in yourself, and then look at the saints around you and trust He will do the same for them. For He has said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
