None is perfectly
good, but God alone. We acknowledge that truth here, honoring the perfect Lord
Jesus who returned good for evil, laying down His life for those who rejected
Him and deserted Him. His goodness led many of them to see their own evil, turn
from it and turn to Christ.
At this meal, we see God’s goodness to
us. As a human race, we could not save ourselves but needed God to come to us
as a man and redeem man, making him new, making evil man good. And this did not
happen to all mankind at once but it is happening man by man, woman by woman,
child by child as those who see God’s goodness respond to Him in faith and
love.
In this meal we profess our faith in
Christ, trusting Him for our redemption and He holds out His promises, His
goodness to us, granting us His promises and making us good in His presence.
Our response is thankfulness.
