Accepted Weekly

Sharing Options

It is no accident that our service of worship concludes, or culminates, in the Supper. In response to the summons of the Lord, we have called on His name. We have confessed our sins, knowing that we cannot enter into the holy place of worship apart from His cleansing and forgiveness. We have consecrated ourselves to Him entirely, just as a sacrificial animal ascended to heaven in the column of smoke from the altar. This is how we have heard the sermon, this is how we have offered our psalms and hymns.

This part of the service, every Lord’s Day, is the place where God assures us that, for the sake of Jesus Christ and His perfections, our offerings and our worship has been accepted. This is the peace offering, this is the place where the Lord invites us to sit down with Him and share a meal. We do so gladly . . . this meal means, as we receive it in true evangelical faith, that we have been justified. So come then, eat and drink.
