We have been
talking about kindness today, realizing how important it is for us to learn and
practice kindness. The Table of the Lord is the place to begin to understand
God’s kindness to us.
The Scriptures say that His kindness leads us to repentance. God
is kind to us. He shows us His love and waits for us to respond to Him
appropriately. What greater love has God shown for us in that He sent His only
Son to die for our sins? Furthermore, He offers the broken body and shed
blood of Christ to us to heal our bodies and to forgive us our sins. And then
He raises us in new life in the risen Lord Jesus to be seated with Christ in
the Heavenly places. This is all God’s favor, His grace, His kindness. We see
it and receive it here at this Table.
