Come to Wisdom's Table - A Meal of Mercy

 Prov 9:1-6

    Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;

    2      She has slaughtered her meat,

    She has mixed her wine,

    She has also furnished her table.

    3      She has sent out her maidens,

    She cries out from the highest places of the city,

    4      “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”

    As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

    5      “Come, eat of my bread

    And drink of the wine I have mixed.

    6      Forsake foolishness and live,

    And go in the way of understanding.

 

God has saved us, not according to works we have done, but by His mercy.  Meals represent mercy.  Whatever the kids have done, however exasperating, mom makes supper for the whole family.  Whatever sins we have done as Christians during the week, God sets this table for you.  Now, we need to come repentant, and resolved to change.  But we need to come.  We have embraced foolishness, we have lacked understanding.  We admit that, and we come to wisdom’s table.  Come, and welcome, to the Lord Jesus Christ.
