We often talk about serving God and we are called by God to submit ourselves to Him in joyful service. It is difficult for us to comprehend that God also serves us but He does. He does not serve us as an inferior serves a superior. Not at all. He serves us like Jesus served the Apostles at the Last Supper. He humbled Himself, girded up His loins and washed their feet. It caught them off guard and Peter even refused at first to have Jesus serve Him.
This Table is where God serves us. He is the master of the meal and has Himself invited us to eat with Him. He has provided the bread and the wine and offers you life in the lifeblood of His own beloved Son. We think of ourselves as unworthy to be served by our Heavenly Father but He has placed great value on you as you come to Him in the name of Jesus, clothed in His righteousness. This is a humbling and truly wonderful celebration of God’s love towards us. Thanks be to God.
