The
two Emmaus road disciples had their Eyes opened and saw Jesus when they broke
bread. In Genesis 3:7 Adam and Eve when they ate had their Eyes open and they knew
their nakedness.
One thing we do at this table is examine ourselves. Perhaps you are acutely aware of your sin
here. Your inadequacy. This is good. We should realize God won’t be pleased
with us; He will be angry. But we can go
off the rails here and try to sew fig leaves for ourselves and hide from
God. We need to see and accept God’s mercy
to be accepted.
We have this at the cross.
We
go on to have our eyes opened and see the risen, living Lord who accepts us
and eats with us. We don't just have guilt removed in some abstract, legal way.
You have a Lord who loves you.
Who knows you.
Whom you can know.
Who walks with
you even when you don’t see Him.
Who sits down to eat and drink with you until
you know Him.
Are your eyes open to risen Lord Jesus?
