DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 20; Jeremiah 4:3-31; Galatians 5:10-26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come. 1 Corinthians 11:26
We were having dinner one night in a restaurant in a small New Zealand town when we noticed a young man sitting alone at a nearby table. One of those seated at our table invited him to join us, which he did. He was a young Danish man and he said he was amazed that we should invite him to eat with us. In all his travels no one had done that before. As a Christian I have been invited to share a far greater table, that of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are called to come today with our hearts full and ready to worship. Do we value this invitation? Are we prepared? —J. Fleming
Around Thy table, holy Lord, in fellowship we meet,
Obedient to Thy gracious word, this feast of love to eat.—Mary Bowley Peters
