We are never to approach the Lord’s Table lightly, casually, or inappropriately. The Lord’s Table is to be approached reverently and discreetly. The Communion table represents a holy and sacred time in the Lord’s presence. The Lord's Supper replaced the Passover Meal. Jesus was modeling a paradigm shift from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. From the Old Testament to the New Testament. From the Temple to the Church. From Priests to Preachers. In the Old Testament the sheep died for the shepherd. In the New Testament the Shepherd dies for the sheep.

The communion table reminds us to look back at the cross and look forward to the future glory in heaven.
