At The Lord's Table
1 Corinthians 11:23-30
"23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come."
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep."
Where is the table? wherever God sets it up.
What is on the table? bread, which declares the presence of God, and wine, in which is our portion.
Who sits at the table? The Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples, All His disciples, then and now.
Why is there a table in the first place? for God ordained such to be made and set up in the Holy Place of the tabernacle, that the presence of God would always be there.
When do we sit at the table? when the Spirit of The Lord calls us to it.
How do come to the table? in humility and humbleness, in repentance and hope.
