“Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. But My people would not heed My voice.”
We
must both obey, and sacrifice. We must come to the table, and we must come in
faith. God calls everyone to believe on His Son, who has died for the sins of
the world. All men are to come to Him and identify with Him in this meal. His
body was broken for us. We must be united with Him to share in the benefits He
offers.
So seal that union as you eat. Proclaim His death as you drink.
As the
bread is carried to every part of your body to nourish it, let Christ permeate
every part of your life. Any limb or member that refuses to be nourished must
eventually be cut off from the body, or it will die and spread its death. Do
not refuse Him who speaks. Heed His voice. Open your mouth wide, and receive
the manna, the water from the rock, receive Christ.
