Ecclesiastes 9:7–9
7
Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God
has already accepted your works. 8 Let your garments always be white, And let
your head lack no oil. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days
of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of
vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform
under the sun.
This
time at the Table comes after our confession of sin and after the consecration
of our lives. This is the time of
sitting in fellowship with God as friends with Him – and – because we are clean
– with one another.
The bread strengthens us in those friendships, binding us to Christ and one another, and the wine gladdens our hearts as we rejoice in the joy of the Lord together. This is all yours in Jesus Christ. Come and welcome.
