When you are in a group setting and you need to talk with someone, the thing to do is to linger until you can catch them alone. We eat and drink with the Lord as a group. This is good. This is a public meal and we should do so publicly.
But this meal should also be one in which we linger to talk with the Lord. We have Abraham’s example to know that the Lord will not despise such lingering. And at the Last Supper, the disciples got John to catch the Lord Jesus in a private conversation. The Lord speaks to us corporately and He also is glad to speak to us one on one.
So, these precious elements of bread and wine are for God’s people, all of you. And they are for every one of you, each individual person. Make sure as you commune with God’s people in this meal, you also linger to speak to the Lord and to be spoken to by the Lord.
