The
Lord’s Prayer fits at the Lord’s Table.
It is our Father who provided this meal for us. He is in heaven. We elders and deacons standing up here are
stand-in hosts for Him. His name was
kept holy by the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. Jesus showed us what God’s justice requires
against sin. He brought the kingdom
near, since He is the king. He did God’s
will on earth.
Jesus is the bread of
life that comes down from heaven. How
could God not give us all things, since He has already given us Jesus? By this sacrifice, He has forgiven us our
sins, and shown us how to forgive others.
As we eat at this table, the Spirit keeps us from the table of
wickedness. This table gives us a
glimpse of Christ’s kingdom coming, His power and glory. Let our prayers ascend as we think on His
grace given to us.
