Invited to Feast with Jesus

Driving down the street, it appeared that somebody was holding a large celebration at their home last evening, but the preacher had not been invited!

This brings to mind the fact that none of us are really that important. We are born, we live, and we die, and our memories quickly fade away. Most of the Saints who have ever lived are known now only to God.

We are a little people in importance, and it might cause us to despair or grow discouraged.

But we ought to weep with joy when we consider that, no matter how humble or unimportant we may be in this world, our Lord Jesus has invited us to feast at His table!

Our being seated with Christ at His Table is a far greater privilege than anything promised by all the world's false religions to their benighted adherents!

God has promised He will provide our physical needs. Our special invitation to Christ's table is foretold in David's command that Mephibosheth eat as his table just like the king's sons.

But the promise of eating with Christ is first seen in the first mention of the supper table, in the building of the tabernacle. The golden table with the showbread was in the Lord's tabernacle.

But God's people were barred from eating at that table! It wasn't until Christ died at Calvary that the veil was rent, and the Saints obtained free access to the mercy seat and the throne of heaven's glory!

Not only so, but now we can eat at the table of the Lord from which our sins once barred us!

Christ provides our very life by His body and blood for us. We celebrate His salvation each Lord's Day at His supper.

But He has promised we'll eat and drink with Him one day in Glory! What an honor for the Saints!
