Going Through the Motions of Relationships - Come to the Table (Luke 22:7-23, John 13)

 

Table fellowship is a unique blessing throughout the scriptures. Abraham entertained three mysterious guests. Moses and the elders of Israel sat down on Sinai for a fellowship meal. In the wilderness wandering, God provided bread (manna) to the people. Jesus invites us to the table. At the table we receive community and life. Likewise, we need to understand that for us to sustain spiritual depth - there likewise must be the deepest of commitment to the table - the place where the family of God gathers as the people of God - with the bread of life. The Lord's Supper is so much more than just a ritual to be observed; it is a way of saying - these are my people, this is my Jesus, this is my place! Come to the table!
