Mutual Indwelling

As we come to the Lord’s Table, we are called to see this mutual indwelling played out in our lives.  Not only does the Father indwell the Son and the Son the Father, but we are indwelt by them, by their same love in the person of the Holy Spirit.  We really do partake of Christ, He really does give Himself to us, we really are nourished by His body and blood.

And so all those who have been baptized into Christ are summoned and welcomed to this Table – for just that purpose – to be indwelt – to be made full – to be nourished and built up – and to be prepared – to give yourself away, to die, to live for others, to sacrifice, to glorify others, to be Christ’s crown and glory – to proclaim His gospel in our lives.  Amen
