An Invitation to the LORD’s Table
The Simplest Way to Change the World - Pt 4 - We think of the Lord’s Supper as a religious ritual. It’s actually an act of hospitality from God to us. It is meant to draw us nearer to Him and to each other. But only if we do it the way it was intended.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
