Who may come to the ordinance of the Lord's supper? The invited. These come to a feast. The children, to eat of the children's bread. Friends: "Eat, O friends." Those who have on the "wedding garment;" that is, a suitable frame of heart to the feast: a garment made up of repentance, faith, and sincerity. Those who "hunger and thirst" are welcome to this feast. I must see my need of a Saviour. I must believe the report of the gospel concerning Christ. I must see God offering him to me to be my Saviour. I must receive him accordingly. "He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away."
Philip Henry
