The Miracle Table: REDISCOVERING THE POWER OF COMMUNION

by Andrew Murray

Many of us have lived with an identity of shame, of fear, of uselessness; of being ashamed or embarrassed of who we are or what we have done. Many of us can’t see any value in who we are. But the King of Kings longs to strip away from us any identity that isn’t found in Him. For in Him we are sons and daughters of God! We are royalty. We have been chosen and adopted into His family, into His Kingdom. We can call the King, Abba - daddy. We have been given worth and value. We have been honoured, favoured and blessed. We have been lifted to an exalted place where we have dignity and acceptance. This is the miracle that takes place at the King’s Table - those who see themselves as dead dogs, suddenly find themselves in royal robes, as sons and daughters of God, royalty in the Kingdom of Heaven. As we dine with the King, we don’t need to sit feeling like we don’t belong or we are not good enough. He has called us His own. He has made us worthy. He accepts us and welcomes us as His very children. Indeed our Saviour is ‘not ashamed to call them (us) brothers.’
