Isaiah 25:6 says, “And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.” You have come to that mountain, to Mount Zion, the city of our God. Assembled here before you is the fulfillment of that prophet who spoke so many centuries ago. Here is a feast of fat things full of marrow and here is wine on the lees well refined. 

This bread is the body of Christ broken for you and this cup is the blood of Christ shed for you. And this sacrament belongs to all of those who have taken God’s triune name upon their heads in baptism. From the greatest of you down to the little ones to whom belongs the kingdom of God, your Father calls you to come, eat, and drink and remember the Lord Jesus Christ. 

As you do so, know that you come to commune with the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. His flesh is meat indeed and His blood is drink indeed. Your soul must nourish itself on the life found in Him or else it will shrivel up like a crusty raisin in the sun. But to those of you who come in faith, you will find here the feast of the Lord designed to meet your hunger with sustenance and your weariness with gladness of heart. 

As you come to our one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, come as His one body. Scripture says that we who are many are one bread, so come as one bread to the true bread of life who has come down from heaven to feed hungry men. Come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
