Isn’t it marvelous? We belong to God through Jesus Christ! God has given Him a name above all names. God has highly exalted Him FAR ABOVE the heavens, dominion, principalities and powers. The Scriptures say so which means God has said so. It’s true.
Man without Christ keeps (and Satan is behind it) “dabbling” with God’s Truth – twisting it, making it of less value, questioning it, rearranging it, etc.
Man with Christ is under siege at times, for believing what God has said and done. We are also, at times, caught taking a bite of the serpent’s savory (but slimy) dish of lies or twisted truth.
You can be across the world and still the same is encountered: man thinks he can “do” something to attain or gain with God. This has been happening since the fall. Cain and Abel brought two sacrifices – Cain brought fruit, Abel brought blood. Cain’s was “his idea,” and Abel’s was God’s Truth. They both must have been taught that God provided blood for Adam and Eve, when they sinned. AND that this was God’s way – no other way was acceptable or could possibly bear fruit in their relationship with God.
Today, God has provided the Beautiful Lamb for our salvation: Jesus Christ.
And we all know He is the way, the Truth, and the Life.
BUT God has provided His Way to fruitful relationship with Him AND fruit through us. It is through an everlasting Table for us to dine at daily:
The King’s Table.
The Server: the Holy Spirit of God.
The food: God’s Holy Scriptures taught by His Spirit to our hearts – personally!
The Plate: Living Words for you and me.
The Utensils: Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge
Satan and the world want to “spit” on this beautiful Table all the time. Their devices, schemes and perversions can be exposed and known by us.
God desires to SERVE us every day. His thoughts are pure, living, and forever the same. At this Table is also Living Waters for refreshment.
He will not deprive us of living food and living waters, even though we’ve eaten “other stuff.” God’s will is to give us Living Bread and Water forever.
Communion and Fellowship with God and His Son is the way to fruitful living on a daily basis. His Son paid the price for us to have full access to God ALL THE TIME!
“And indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.” I John 1:3b
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” II Corinthians 13:14
Don’t let ANYONE CHEAT or ROB you dear brother and sister of your seat at the King’s Table – your name is there – take a seat and eat!
(Colossians 2: 18, 19)
“Thank you, Father for this precious place you have given us in your Son and with your Son – at the King’s Table. Thank you for the precious meal you are serving today. In Jesus name, Amen.”
In Christ’s love,
