Constant Need for Christ

Coming to the Table reminds us of our constant, ever-present need for Christ.  It’s not that we need to be saved again, but that while it is true that salvation is a one-time event, it is also a process that we are all going through.  We have been saved and we are being saved – and Christ is the means to that salvation from beginning to end, from faith to faith, and from grace to grace.  All of us, and all of our families are, by the grace of God, on just that journey.  That is why we come to the Table.

 

In the midst of great answers to prayer, we gather together at this Table in faith.  In the midst of ongoing trials, we gather together at this Table in faith.  In the midst of everything God gives us – all of us are fellow sinners, fellow saints because of Christ alone, and fellow sojourners on the journey He has given to us to walk.  The only requirement for coming to this Table is submission to Jesus Christ which is the gift of God – and this is the only requirement for being in deep and abiding fellowship with Him and with one another.
