Corrective "Vision" from the Lord's Table

     Feasting at the Lord’s Table brings a Spiritual focus to all of Scripture.  It washes out our ego centric approach to the Word of the Lord. I believe we see this in the Emmaus visitation with two disciples who were bemoaning the death of him they hoped would become their national deliverer. (Luke 24:13-32)  Jesus walked with them and expounded all the OT scriptures concerning Himself.  But it wasn’t until He broke bread at a meal that their eyes were opened, “And they knew Him.”  Now I am not suggesting the Lord served the elements of His Table with them, but He broke the emblem of the fact that He was the Bread of Life.  Remember the breaking the bread and fish for five thousand that was the setting for His “Bread of Life” discourse” and His command to “eat My Flesh and drink My Blood”?  And the result in Emmaus?  The disciples self centered disappointed nationalistic desire was banished in the personal recognition of Him Who IS the Bread of Life.  And that is the Divine Focus that should confront us every time we sit at His Table.  It is purposed by our Heavenly Father to draw us out of our little kingdoms of human need and bring us into the abundant supply of Divine Sacrificial Love that is unveiled in the tearing apart of the God/Man’s flesh for His People.(Hebrews 10:19-22)
