1 Samuel 28:1-29:11; Isaiah 66:1-24; Romans 8:18-39
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. Hebrews 3:3
Guests invited to a banquet to honour a particular individual are excited to be there. And while they enjoy meeting and talking with other attendees, their primary focus is seeing the guest of honour. Likewise, each Lord’s Day we delight to fellowship together, but our greatest joy is remembering and thanking the One we gather around, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the pre-eminent One, the focus of all our worship and praise. —George Ferrier
O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest,
Thou loving Friend, and Saviour of our race,
And where among the guests, there never cometh,
One who can hold such high and honoured place! —K. Spitta
