the Lord's day
We were invited to the banquet table of the Lord as we shared in Communion together. From Luke 14, we asked and answered three questions: Who is invited to the banquet of God's Kingdom? The simple answer is that all are invited. But, especially the broken! Those lost in their sin are invited. Who, among the invited, get into the banquet? Not everyone that is invited gets in. Some make excuses. Those who answer the call and turn to Jesus will get into the banquet. Who is really honored at the banquet? Many today are trying to position themselves to get honor but the honored guest is Jesus Christ our Lord. We come to the table of communion to honor Him.
We shared a message speaking of prayer (1st John 5 and John 14) considering praying in "the name of Jesus" - this is about His character, reputation, and authority. It's how we pray in confidence and a check on our prayers to ensure they are "according to His will." All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus (Matt. 28). . . and our prayers should be consistent with His character and enhancing to His reputation.
