Too Much to Handle

“The one principle of hell is — ‘I am my own.’” George Macdonald said that, and he was right. By contrast, this table speaks the exact opposite. It may be possible to come in an “I am my own” spirit to try and grab at this table. But it is very hard to attempt such a feat and no one has done so successfully. The Spirit of this table has a way of overwhelming the selfish and prideful spirit of hell. As with the gates, the table of hell cannot stand against the table of heaven.

Here you come to a table that is not your own. And you are very much not eating alone. You come with other purcahsed ones. Here He strengthens you with righteousness that is not your own and the joy of another. So if the one principle of hell is “I am not my own,” then the one principle of heaven is “I was bought with a price.” Here you were carrying yourself around as if you had purchased yourself at the market (and this was stressing you out given all the maintenance required). But this heavenly table disposses you. This bread and wine laughs at your fussy and possesive self-management until you start to laugh at it too, realizing you were too much to handle. Come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
