The Lord's Catering Service

Most of us have seen the TV ad where the fake delivery guy brings a Digiorno Pizza to the door so he can gain access to the party.  A funny ad--but let me turn it into a spiritual lesson:

In Psalm 23:5 we're told that our Shepherd (Jesus) prepares a BANQUETING TABLE before us, even in the presence of our enemies.  And in Revelation 3:21 it says that Jesus stands at our door and knocks.  [Folks...there's our "delivery man!"]  He not only brings us the food (all that we could ever want or need)--but He offers to come inside (inside our hearts) and dine with us!!!  He supplies the food...He sets the table.... if we INVITE Him in to dine with us.

In another portion of Scripture, we're INVITED to His wedding feast.  In another place in the Bible, we're told to come and COMMUNE with Him...come in REMEMBRANCE of Him (and break the bread and pour the wine).  Even after His resurrection, He went and ate with the two disciples who were grieving (on the road to Emmaus).

DINNER is usually "the last" meal of the day.  So, before night falls--before it's too late--I urge you to invite Him in....set at His table...and "be filled" with more of Him!

COME AND DINE--and ALL WILL BE FINE!!!
