Approaching the Lord’s Table
February 11, 2010
As we prepare to celebrate the Lord’s Supper this coming Sunday, let me encourage you to reflect on J.C. Ryle’s comments regarding approaching the Lord’s Table:
“Right reception of the Lord’s Supper has a ‘humbling’ effect on the soul. The sight of the bread and wine as emblems of Christ’s body and blood, reminds us how sinful sin must be, if nothing less than the death of God’s own Son could make satisfaction for it, or redeem us from its guilt. Never should we be so ‘clothed with humility,’ as when we receive the Lord’s Supper.” (J.C. Ryle, Practical Religion, “Going to the Table”, 152.)
