The Lord’s Table

Listen from:
The Lord wants every believer to be at His table and would lead them there by the Holy Spirit. The loaf we partake of at the Lord’s table is the symbol of the one body (1 Cor. 10:16,17).
All believers everywhere are part of the one body and are represented in the loaf at the Lord’s table. However, many are at other tables, set up by men, which do not represent the one body, because they are independent of other believers.
Only a professing believer connected with moral or doctrinal evil is to be excluded from His table. The testimony of God on the earth is preserved by the Holy Spirit through discipline, displaying the authority of Christ on the earth.
The assembly should be a testimony to all that there is one body. When we sit down and partake of the one loaf during the Lord’s supper at the Lord’s table, we express that we are members of the one body. There may be believers who do not know this truth and so sit down at men’s tables but who in simplicity worship God in the Spirit.
Believers are gathered to the Lord at His table by the Spirit of God. To be in fellowship at the Lord’s table, we need to be led by and submissive to the Spirit. Have we responded to His call?
