I have been
warning today about partaking in religious ceremony without the power of a
changed life. If we insist on holding onto to our rebellious and idolatrous sins
while at the same time professing faithfulness to Jesus, then we have a certain
expectation of judgment rather than blessing.
However, I believe better things for you. You are come to Jesus
Christ and Him crucified. In Him, you have entered into death and have been
raised up to the right hand of the Father to reign with Jesus forever. In
Jesus, you have been washed and cleansed, made holy by the Holy One of God. In
Jesus, you have confidence, even though you continue to commit sins, because His
Spirit abides with you and teaches you to love God and hate sins. Forsaking
sins, you know that you have an Advocate with the Father for sins. By His
Spirit, you receive the peace of Christ and humbly receive His invitation to
sit and eat and to receive the blessing of the Father for all those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness, being filled at this place at this Table, not
only with this bread and with this wine but also with His Spirit. You eat at
this place where there is no condemnation to you, only words of peace and
comfort in Jesus.
So, come to Jesus, eat and be filled and give God the glory for
His grace to you in the crucified and glorified Lord Jesus.
