It is wonderful
for us to participate in the movement of our worship service from beginning
with confessing sins to now sitting down with Jesus. The ministry of God in
Christ is certainly a ministry of reconciliation. We have been brought near, in
peace, with God and with each other.
This peace only happens when we humble
ourselves in Jesus. If we make ourselves small, then we do not have any reason
to be at odds with God or men. That is why we confess ongoing sins. But God
does not leave us small. He raises us up and seats us with His Son in glory at
the honored place at the Table. We do not swell up with pride at this. It is
God’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. We simply give thanks.
