Four Looks at the Table

Sep 14, 2025    Dr. JD Funyak

As we gather around the Lord's table, we're called to look in four vital directions that deepen our communion experience. First, we look within, examining our hearts not for condemnation, but to recognize our need for Christ's grace. Then, we look to Jesus, embracing the profound truth that His body and blood are 'for us' - a gift of love that transcends our failures and successes. We're also urged to look around, seeing our fellow believers as family united in Christ, challenging us to practice costly unity. Finally, we look ahead, proclaiming Christ's death until He returns, finding hope in the promise of His coming. This multi-faceted approach to communion reminds us that grace received becomes grace given, inspiring us to extend Christ's love even to those who seem undeserving. In a world craving real solutions, we're reminded that the gospel - embodied in the Lord's Supper - is our ultimate hope and the transformative power we're called to share.
