Jesus tells His disciples on the Emmaus road that everything in the Old Testament pointed toward the sufferings of Christ. But He said something else as well, which is also ministered to us in this meal. He said that Christ had to suffer these things, and “enter into his glory.”
What does this glory entail? We must not be limited by any one metaphor. He is above all things, head over heaven and earth. He is at the center of all things, everything radiates from Him. He is the one who holds all things together. He is before all things, and after them as well. He is the alpha and omega. He is beneath all things, the only foundation. Jesus Christ came to make all things new. Not only so, but the Bible tells us that this was not a vain attempt. He succeeded.
We often forget this, but we have to remember that the sun shines, regardless of how many men are blind. We live in the new heavens and the new earth. Jesus Christ is Lord of all. Jesus Christ is enthroned in His glory, and this glory is present everywhere. Do you fail to see it? Then humble yourself, take and eat.
