Always Enough Food and Drink

Always enough food and drink, always enough Jesus. What does that mean? It means that the sacrifice of Christ was sufficient for your sins. Which ones? The ones you committed yesterday. The ones you will commit tomorrow. There is no further sacrifice.
         Of course, we do not presume upon God. We shall not continue in sin that grace may abound. We labor diligently to put to death the deeds of the flesh. And yet, this meal reminds us weekly that Christ died once for all sins.
         We look back through our lives and thank Him for His abundant grace. We come to Him this morning full of gratitude for His lovingkindness and grace. And we move into the future full of hope and joy, knowing that whatever shall befall us, the Lord Jesus will be sufficient for us in all things.

         He is presented to us here each Lord’s Day. There is always bread and wine. And we should learn the lesson that there will always be enough bread and wine, that the body and blood of Jesus will cover us, that there will always be enough Jesus to satisfy our souls.
