The Lasting Supper
Revelation 3:20-21 Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him
that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (KJV)
Learning to
communicate with our Father through His Son Jesus Christ is very important.
Not only taking the time to hear, but being able to deliver His message as
well, whether it be by word or example. How many times does the Lord come
knocking on your door? How many times does opportunity knock in the form of
a brother or sister in the Lord, sometimes those we are not familiar with?
Matthew 25:34-35 Then
shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: (KJV)
If you came across
a starving child, would it not be your first instinct to take that child in
and give them what is needed. How prepared are you to deal with those that
are spiritually starving and in a need of a meal?
Matthew 25:40 And
the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as
ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me. (KJV)
Did you realize by
being prepared and able to give the spiritual food that is lacking is not
only doing it unto them, but our Lord as well? So being that God gave us
His best, are we doing the same in return?
James 2:15-16 If a
brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say
unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye
give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it
profit? (KJV)
Isn’t that why it’s
called the body of Christ, being able to give the food that will feed and
nourish the spirit man. Didn’t the Lord instruct His people to feed His
flock? You can give them a wafer or some wine which might make the flesh
giddy, but does absolutely nothing for the spirit man, so what is that
going to profit?
John 6:48-50 I am
that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are
dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die. (KJV)
The communion that
the Christian should be partaking of is of a spiritual nature, an ongoing
never ending process nourished up in words of faith and good doctrine. You
can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, or you can teach him to
fish and he will eat forever. Are you receiving your heavenly instructions
first hand, and able to give an accurate account of God’s plan of salvation
to any that would ask? Or are you pointing them toward the dead sea?
2Corinthians 13:14 The
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of
the Holy Ghost, be with you all. (KJV)
