When I come to the Lord’s table, and it is HIS table, spread before us, ’ “I say Lord, thank you for this table! ”
There is incredible symbolism in this practice. We must realize any believer can partake of this table and enjoy Him in remembrance. It is by eating Him, taking in by faith, that we remember Him. It is that simple.
All Christians are in the body of Christ as symbolized by the bread, whether they know it or not. And I repeat: We must eat and drink of Him to live! We must take Him in by faith. It’s by eating Him (taking His Word by faith) that we live. We grow in oneness by eating Him.
The last 2 verses clearly show this is something we can enjoy daily. Eating of Christ’s riches is so enjoyable. Even a child can experience this. This has been my experience for over 50 years.
a. To Remember the Lord
The gathering for the Lord’s table is first to remember the Lord. Luke 22:19 says, “Having taken a loaf, when He had given thanks, He broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is My body which is given for you; do this unto the remembrance of Me. ” First Corinthians 11:25 tells us, “Similarly also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood; this do, as often as you drink it, unto the remembrance of Me. ” The gathering for the Lord’s table is not for anything other than remembering the Lord, with the remembrance of the Lord as its center for the Lord’s enjoyment. Everything in this meeting, whether hymn singing, prayer, Bible reading, or words of inspiration, should take the Lord as the center, speaking either concerning His person and work, His love and virtues, His living or suffering on earth, or His honor and glory in heaven, that others may consider these things in order to remember the Lord Himself. In such a meeting we should think of the Lord in our hearts and behold the Lord in our spirit that we may be inspired concerning Him. Then we shall express our inspiration through songs, prayers, reading of the Bible, or words, so that the feeling of the meeting will be directed to the Lord and that all will remember Him.
At the Lord’s table we remember the Lord by eating the bread, which signifies His body given for His believers ( 1 Cor. 11:24 ), and by drinking the cup, which signifies His blood shed for their sins ( Matt. 26:28 ). The bread denotes life ( John 6:35 ), the life of God, the eternal life, and the cup denotes blessing ( 1 Cor. 10:16 ), which is God Himself as our portion. As sinners, our portion should have been the cup of God’s wrath ( Rev. 14:10 ). But the Lord Jesus drank that cup for us ( John 18:11 ), and His salvation has become our portion, the cup of salvation ( Psa. 116:13 ) that runs over ( Psa. 23:5 ), the content of which is God as our all-inclusive blessing. Such bread and such a cup are the constituents of the Lord’s supper, which is a table, a feast, set up by Him so that we may remember Him by enjoying Him as such a feast. Thus we testify of His rich and marvelous salvation to the entire universe and display His redeeming and life-imparting death ( 1 Cor. 11:26 ).

In verse one, the table is glorious. The table is glorious for two reasons: firstly, there is a Man, our Host, presiding; this Man was beat, tortured and died; this Man rose and was glorified; this Man ascended and was crowned with glory; this Man will return in glory; this Man of glory, hosting the table, presiding over the table, makes it glorious! Secondly, there is a house, a home. The house is the church of glory, unto Him be glory in the church, the house of the living God. There is also a home, a place of rest for the presiding Man of glory. This home for the glorious Man is individually in the believer's heart, and this home for the glorious Man is the dwelling place, the corporate gathering of His people. What a glorious table that we can partake of!
