This food and drink bring life and liberty. Living water and bread from heaven gives true freedom. Worldly food promises freedom, but brings slavery. When the White Witch gave Edmund Turkish delight in Narnia, it made him a slave to want more and more so that he would destroy himself. When we feed on Jesus in our souls and at this table, we are freed to want more and more of Him, so that we truly live as we were meant to live. As one of our nationally treasured documents almost says, this Lord’s table is all about life, liberty and the pursuit of holiness.
