The King’s Table
“So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he
did eat continually at the king’s table; and was
lame on both his feet” (2 Samuel 9:13).
“While the King sitteth at His table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof”
(Song of Solomon 1:12).
What a beautiful picture of grace the story of Mephibosheth is — Brought by King David, a type of the Lord Jesus, to not only live in the comfort and safety of the palace, but to enjoy fellowship with the king at his table. Likewise the bride in the Song of Solomon had a heart overflowing with the fragrance of worship as she sat with the king at his table.
For us today, we have the privilege of sitting down at the “Lord’s table” (1 Corinthians 10:21). Let’s remember the love and grace that has provided for us so that we can eat of the “Lord’s supper” (1 Corinthians 11:20), in fellowship with Himself and with other members of the body of Christ. He desires our company there and don’t forget, it is an invitation to the table of the King of kings and Lord of lords. What response will there be from our hearts?
