Psalm 96:3 - Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
This table, this worship service, is not meant as a place to hide from the world, to keep them from knowing what is going on here. To keep us safe from their prying eyes. No, this table is set in the presence of our enemies (Psalm 23). We proclaim His death until He comes. We still have the world, the flesh, and the devil opposing us as we follow Jesus Christ. But this table is the best way to arm ourselves with the mind of Christ (1 Peter 4:1), to prepare for trouble. He made the ultimate sacrifice to bring us to God. Surely, we can make lesser sacrifices for Him.
And, as a result of His sacrifice, He has received the ultimate exaltation and blessing as
a result. We too will be blessed and
exalted with life and reward as we trust and follow Him.
