At this table, the LORD feeds His army. You must remember that this food is for the good fight that is out in front of you. It has always been this way. When our LORD instituted Passover, He told Israel to eat it with their loins girded, shoes on their feet, and staff in their hand. They would soon be on the move, facing giants, trials, and a host of unfriendly characters both inside and outside of God’s covenant people.

The Passover looked backward and forward. It was a testimony to God’s slaughter of the firstborn in Egypt. But it was also a testimony to the LORD’s provision for the enemies ahead, Sihon, Og, Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, etc. Israel would not face any of them without a Passover Lamb.

And so it is with you. There really is no telling what is coming. And that is what makes the story you are living so interesting. Nothing libel against fiction. But the truth is stranger and far more thrilling when you determine to live it, to walk in God’s providence rather than simply reason about it. Eat this meal with the sense of readiness that marked the Passover’s institution and with confidence that whatever comes, Christ is your meat and drink. Come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
