This was and is no ordinary meal, the space where the gospel happened and was on display . . . it was at this meal where the gospel was demonstrated to be credible . . .
This is why Paul was so very serious about approaching the Lord's Supper rightly . . . so much so that to approach it lightly was to incite judgment . . . while all are welcome at the Table, don't mess with the meal for it is no ordinary meal . . .
Again . . .
“It is in the local congregation that the credibility of the gospel becomes apparent, for that is the place where a real community of men and women, of young and old, of stranger and friend, are gathered into the reconciled fellowship of the body of Christ, hear the declaration that their sins are forgiven, and feast together at the table of the Lord” (Rae Murray). |
