Now, we're going to read our
text here. It'll be 1 Corinthians 11, 23. And our outline is going to be real simple.
It's going to be our title. We're going to look at the bread,
the wine, and the taking and the eating. The bread, the wine,
the taking and eating. All right, let's read 1 Corinthians
11, 23. Paul said, I received of the
Lord that which also I delivered unto you. That's what God's true
messengers do. They receive of the Lord and
they deliver it. I received of the Lord that which also I delivered
unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was
betrayed, took bread. And when he had given thanks,
he'd break it. and said, take, eat. This is my body which is
broken for you. This do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he
took the cup and when he had supped saying, this cup is the
New Testament in my blood. This do you as oft as you drink
it in remembrance of me. Now, some of you may have wondered
why we observe the Lord's table, and what's the purpose of this,
what's the significance of it? And I want to go over this with
you one more time. We're going to look at the bread,
we're going to look at the wine, and then the taking and the eating.
Now the bread, he said there in verse 24, the Lord said, this
is my body which is broken for you. And he's sitting there at
the table with those he had called, and those he was about to lay
down his life for, and he tells them this bread, they had bread,
and he said this bread that he took and he broke and gave to
them, he said this bread represents my body which is broken for you.
We saw not too long ago that Christ is the true bread. He's
that bread that was typified in the manna that came down in
the wilderness. Christ is the true bread. His body was broken
for the iniquities of His children and it was in His humanity. He came as a man and His body
was broken as a man. You know why He came in the flesh? Why did God the Son, who is Spirit,
Invisible God come in the form of a man and take flesh. Let's
let's look at that again at Hebrews Hebrews chapter 2 I Find that when you you think
that Well, everybody knows this and I often have somebody come
up to me and say, you know I never saw that or I never saw this
or whatever So Ryan's you constantly to just keep going back to these
scriptures and looking at them again and again and again look
look at Let's look at Hebrews 2.10. It became him for whom
are all things and by whom are all things and bringing many
sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through
sufferings. To perfect that salvation that
he came to do. He came to do that through sufferings.
For both he that sanctifies, that's what it is to be made
a saint by God, by the work of God. For he that sanctifies and
they who are sanctified are all of one. Whatever Christ does,
that's what his people are going to do. Whatever he suffers, that's
what his children suffered in him when he suffered. And for
whatever reason he did it, he did it for them. So let's see
why he did it. Look at verse 14. For as much
then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, that's what
the children he came to save, their flesh and blood, he also
himself likewise took part of the same. That, here's why, that
through death he might destroy him that had the power of death,
that is the devil. God can't die. Son of God could
not die. He couldn't die. He's eternal
God, but in the in his humanity as a man he could, in that body
that God prepared for him, he came in that body and he could
lay down his life and die and suffer just as real as you and
I suffer, just as painfully as you and I suffer. It was a real
body, real flesh and blood that he came to suffer and to die,
to destroy the power of the devil and deliver them who through
fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he
took on him the seed of Abraham, that chosen seed of Abraham,
that chosen elect people that he came to save. Wherefore in
all things it behooved him to be made like his brethren. He came and was made like those
he came to save, that he might be a merciful and faithful high
priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for
the sins of the people. We couldn't do that. His brethren,
his children that he came to do this for couldn't do that.
We couldn't make reconciliation to God for our sins. He came
to do that. And because he has suffered,
look at verse 18, in that he himself has suffered being tempted,
he's able to comfort them that are tempted. He knows exactly
what we suffer, exactly He's been tempted in all points like
as we are, yet without sin. He didn't sin when He was tempted.
But He knows the feeling of our infirmities and He's able to
comfort us. So that two-fold reason to make reconciliation
to God and to be able to comfort us. He's a faithful and merciful
high priest. Now, it says here, He says, this
is my body which is broken for you. I want you to look over
at Isaiah 53 and I want you to see something. Isaiah 53. Look down at verse 5. It says, He was wounded for our
transgressions. Now look at this next phrase.
He was bruised for our iniquities. This word bruised has a lot of
meaning in it concerning how that Christ is our bread. Because
the word bruised means to beat. It means to break like you break
a kernel of corn, like it's ground up to make bread, to make meal,
to make bread. Now in the wilderness when they
had that man over there, this is how they, when they went out
and got it, this is how they processed it in order to be able
to make, to eat with it. It says, Numbers 11.8 says, the
people went about and gathered it and ground it in meals or
beat it in a mortar. You know how you take a mortar
and a pestle and you grind, grind it till it's just powder. That's
what they did. Well, Christ is that true bread. He came down from heaven and
in that body that he came to suffer in, he was made so one
like unto his brethren when he was made sin for us and he bore
the sins of his people in his own body and the Lord laid on
him that iniquity that his children are. The Lord bruised him. He bruised him like that picture
you have of that corn of wheat being bruised. He was broken.
He was beaten. He was pounded. He was ground
to powder, like as a corn of wheat's bruised. And that was
a necessity in order to put away our sins, to put away the sins
of his children, that we might be able to come to God in him
through faith and feast upon this bread from heaven that he's
given. Now, we're going to take the
Lord's table in the second hour, and I want you to try to, when
you do that, I want you brethren here, you believers here, I want
you to try to put everything out of your thoughts with this
one thought in mind, to hear Christ say to you personally,
hear Him say that this broken piece of bread represents my
body which is broken for you. his body which knew no sin, his
body in which he completely, totally fulfilled all righteousness
as a representative of his people, his body in which he bore our
sins, his body in which it cost him to be broken by this almighty
wrath of God to satisfy justice. Think about that body being broken
and think about how much it cost him to be able to say to sinners
like you and I, lepers like you and I, I'm willing, be thou clean. That's the only way he could
say that to a sinner. The only way he could say be
thou clean is by him bearing that shame and that reproach
and that sin that we are. You remember that, that he suffered
in his body that you might be justified freely. Justified freely. That's the bread. That's what
we see in the bread. That's what's represented in
the bread. Now let's talk about the wine. It says back in 1 Corinthians
11 verse 25, after the same manner also he took the cup when he
had supped saying this cup is the New Testament in my blood.
The New Testament in my blood. This do you as often as you drink
it in remembrance of me. Now the wine That we drink it
from that cup. It represents the Christ shed
in his own blood That's that's how he put away our sin. He shed
his own blood for everyone for whom he died Leviticus 17. Let me let me read this to you
if I can Get over here. Hold on. Just one second little
Leviticus 17 If you want to turn there Leviticus 17 And look at verse 11. This is
why blood has so much significance in the gospel. It is the gospel. The blood is the gospel. This
is why it has so much meaning to the believer. The life, verse
11, Leviticus 17, 11, the life of the flesh is in the blood. The life of the flesh, the life
of your flesh right there is in your blood. That's where it
is. The life of the flesh is in the blood. And I've given
it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls.
For it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. You've
heard the, maybe you've heard the saying, you look at the word
at, atonement there. It means, if you just divide
it, at, one, ment. to make atonement, to make us,
his children, one with God, this offended God, it had to be done
through the blood. In other words, now turn over
to Hebrews, Hebrews chapter 1, Hebrews chapter 1. It had to
be done through the blood. Hebrews 1 tells us this. This
is what Christ did. Hebrews 1. We saw this last week. Verse 3. Look at that little
phrase right in the middle. When He had by Himself purged
our sins. Catch that word purged. When
He had by Himself purged our sins. Now look at Hebrews 9 and
verse 2. Hebrews 9 and verse 2. I'm sorry, Hebrews 9. Let me see where it's at here. Verse 22, Hebrews 9, 22. Almost all things are by the
law purged. with blood." You see that? Purged
with blood. Now Hebrews 1 verse 3 said, he
by himself purged our sin. Everything is purged with blood.
Without shedding of blood is no remission. No sins are put
away without the shedding of blood. There's no atonement made
without the shedding of blood. That's what Christ did when he
shed his blood. He gave his life for the life
of those that God gave to Him. He gave His life for them and
He put away our sin by the sacrifice of Himself by shedding His own
blood. Look back up at Hebrews 9, 14.
He says, How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God? This blood
not only purges us of our sins, before God in Christ, but this
is the blood whereby the Spirit of God enters in and purges our
conscience and makes us clean within to where we can enter
into what Christ has done for us. And when He does that and
we enter into it, Ephesians 1-7 tells us, in whom we have redemption
through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins according to the riches
of His grace. Look now over at Romans chapter
3 with me. Romans chapter 3. I tell you repeatedly, righteousness
is the key. Righteousness is the key. Everything
God does, He does in righteousness. Now, salvation is not going to
be in your works. It's not going to be in my works.
It's in Christ's blood. Justification is not going to
be by our good deeds. It's by Christ's blood being
now justified by His blood. That's the case for every believer.
We're justified by His blood. Now look at Romans 3.24. This
was the purpose for which God set Christ forth. Romans 3.24. Now read verse 23. For all have sinned and come
short of the glory of God. And we got to have the glory
of God to enter in. If we don't have the glory of God and be
as righteous as God is, we can't enter into God's presence. He
won't receive us. But how are we going to have that? How is
atonement going to be made? How are we going to be justified
of our sin? Look at Romans 3.24. Being justified
freely. See, it doesn't cost us because
it cost Him. Being justified freely by His
grace. That means this salvation is
free by His grace, unmerited. Through the redemption that is
in Christ Jesus, Romans 3.25, Whom God hath set forth to be
a propitiation. That word set forth means foreordained. We're going to see a lot about
that word in the next message. Whom God hath foreordained. through faith to be a propitiation.
A propitiation means a seat of mercy, a place where God will
meet with a sinner in mercy. He set him forth to be the mercy
seat. He set him forth to be the place where God would meet
with a sinner. And he did that, he's going to do that through
faith in his blood. We got to come believing that
his blood accomplished the work. His blood got the job done. His
blood finished that work for which he came to do. Our faith
don't make it finished. Our faith receives the fact it
is finished. He did it. And he says here,
he did that to declare his righteousness. For the remission of sins that
are passed. That word remission of sins that
are passed, it means the same thing that it means over in Hebrews
9.15. It means for the sins that were broken, that we broke under
that first covenant which we broke in Adam. We died in Adam. We fell in Adam and we died.
And Christ came to save his people. He said, this is the New Testament
in my blood. This is the New Testament, the
everlasting covenant, the new covenant that Christ makes in
the heart with a child of grace when he says, I've accomplished
the work. The new covenant to put away all the sins that we
broke in Adam under that first covenant. Now he says this, through
the forbearance of God. God didn't destroy the world
then because he had a surety. He had a propitiation. He had
one who was going to come forth and purge his children of our
sins. But he did it to declare, verse 6, I say at this time his
righteousness, that he might be just. God's gonna save in
a manner that's just. He's not gonna clear the guilty.
He's not gonna sweep our sin under the rug. He's gonna be
just. He will by no means clear the
guilty. And that's what happened when Christ, that's why Christ
shed his blood. God wouldn't clear him. When
he was made sin for his people, God poured out wrath on him and
he shed his own blood. He gave his life for his people.
And it declares that God is the justifier. That was God justifying
His people in Christ at Calvary. He did it. He did the work. So
the work's taken out of our hands. It's taken away from you and
I. And it's all given to Christ. And Christ gets all the glory.
God gets all the glory for what He did in His Son. Look at the
next verse. Where's boasting then? It's excluded. We don't have any room to boast.
By what law? Is it excluded by the law of
works? No. You know if you had something
to do with it, you'd just boast and boast and boast, and so would
I. But it's excluded by the law of faith. Faith is not doing
anything. Faith is believing. Therefore,
we conclude a man is justified by faith without the deeds of
the law. He said, when I see the blood,
I'll pass over you. When I see the blood, I'll pass
over you. Now, that's the blood. That's
why he did That's the bread, his broken body, the wine represents
his shed blood. Now let's look at this third
thing, the taking and the eating. Now back in our text, 1 Corinthians
11, when he had given thanks, he'd
break it and he said, take, eat. He said, take, eat. He took that
bread and he broke that bread and he did the same manner with
the cup. But he took it and he handed
it to them. He reached out with it to them and he said, take
it and eat it. Take this and eat this. And when
they took it, they took it and they ate it and it went into
their body. And it became one with Him. And
that taking and that eating is a picture of receiving. It's
a picture of taking Christ through faith and living upon Him, living
in Him, living by Him. A few, well, I don't know, a
month ago or so, I don't think I'll embarrass Will with this
because I've talked to him about it, but Will took, hey, when
we were passing the wine out, Will took the cup and was going
to help Melinda with it, and he took the cup. And when he
did, he spilled it on her. And I took him out back and talked
to him and explained to him what this taking and this eating symbolizes,
why it's just a believer that takes that cup and eats that
bread and drinks that wine. It's because it's a picture of
faith. It's a picture of believing God, of taking Christ and eating
and living upon Him. So, I want you to see this, that
when He speaks to the heart, just like He sat there at that
table that night, when He speaks to the heart that He's made new
and He says, take, eat, you know what's going to happen? That
sinner's going to take and eat. When He says, take, eat, you
hear me saying this now, and it may mean nothing to you, but
if you hear Christ saying it, Take me and eat of me. Believe on me. You will. A sinner
will. All the spiritual blessings that
we are given are given to us in Christ. All spiritual blessings
are in Christ Jesus. All spiritual blessings, A to
Z, are all in Christ. But until you take Christ and
believe on Christ, they will profit you nothing. Those blessings
will profit you nothing, absolutely nothing. We receive those blessings
when we take and eat, that is, when we believe on Christ. Let's
look back to John 6, and I want you to hold your place in John
6. John 6, 53. This is what I just said to you,
When I said to you, if you don't believe on Christ, it will profit
you nothing. It's exactly what Christ told
the people one day. Look, John 6, 53. Then Jesus said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye eat the flesh
of the Son of Man and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Now, that's an odd statement
if you think about it, because have you ever seen a dead man
eat? Have you ever seen a dead man eat anything? A dead man
don't eat. He don't do anything. If you
take and you eat, it's because you already have life in you.
It's because you have life in you. But except you take and
eat, It's proof you have no life in you. Except you take and eat,
you have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh
my blood hath eternal life. He's already got it. and I'll
raise him up at the last day for my flesh is meat indeed and
my blood is drink indeed." Now all this is a gift. Every bit
of it is a gift. We don't make our own blessings.
We don't do anything to finish out the blessings. We don't do
anything to accomplish the blessings. We don't do anything to deserve
the blessings. He gives the gift of faith itself
whereby we even receive Him and enter into these blessings. He
gives that gift. And He gives all the blessings
freely by His grace through faith, believing on Him. It's all a
gift of Him. Romans 6.23 says the wages of
sin is death. You earn that. You work. Wages
are something you earn. You've got to work to die. You've
got to work to die. If you perish and die and meet
God in judgment and He casts us out, it will be because we
earned it. We worked hard for that and we
got our wages. The wages of sin is death. But
the gift of God, the free gift of God is eternal life and it's
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Now somebody will say, well,
I don't feel worthy to believe on Christ because of my sin.
I don't feel worthy to take Christ and believe on Him because I'm
such a sinner. Well, let me ask you this question. You had Peter sitting there at
that table. We'll use Peter as an example. Peter's sitting at
that table with the Lord. Was he a sinner? Was he a sinner
when he was sitting there and the Lord said, take this bread
and eat it? He was a sinner. Was there anybody
sitting at that table that was not a sinner? Not a one of them. They were all sinners. Every
one of them. Their worthiness to take and to eat was Christ
who said, take and eat. Their worthiness to believe,
the sinner's worthiness to believe on Christ is not in us. It's
Christ who commands, believe on me. It's Him. Now, that's
the same thing with a sinner that you can't receive Christ
by faith as long as you think you have to make yourself worthy
to receive Christ. That's not faith. If we think
we have to make ourselves worthy to receive Christ, that's not
faith. That's works. That's us trying
to do something to clean ourselves up a little bit and make ourselves
worthy to be accepted of it. That's works. That's not faith.
To be accepted of Christ, we have to come trusting, believing,
owning that all our worthiness is Him. That's what faith does. He said, I came not to call the
righteous, I came to call sinners to repentance. Before anybody's
going to take Christ in faith, the Spirit of God is going to
make us do two things. Two things. He's going to make
us examine ourselves. The Spirit of God will do this.
I'm talking about being conversion here. I'm talking about when
God works a work of grace in the heart, He's going to make
us examine ourselves, He's going to make us discern the Lord's
body. That's what He's going to make us to do. Before we ever
take and eat of the Lord Jesus Christ, He's going to make us
examine ourselves and discern the Lord's body. The Spirit of
God is going to convince us of sin, that we've never believed
on Him, we never trust Him, we're under condemnation, we're under
the wrath of God. That's what we're going to find
out about ourselves. And we're going to see, He's going to make
us, convince us of righteousness. He's going to convince us that
Christ Jesus the Lord is all our righteousness. He's going
to do that. He's going to convince us of
judgment. He's going to make us to see that I've been justified,
I've been reconciled, God has made propitiation for me by His
Son, and I believe Him. I believe He did that for me.
He's going to make us to behold that. So that then we're going
to hunger, and you're going to thirst, and you're going to,
just like a hungry and a thirsty man, and you're going to say,
I've got to have that bread. I've got to have this blood. I've got to believe on Christ.
And you'll flee to it because He's made you to see there's
nothing good in yourself and that all is in Christ. He's made us to examine ourselves
and to discern with true spiritual discernment the Lord's body and
what Christ has done. Now believer, you sitting here,
that's exactly how believers observe the Lord's table. Let
a man examine himself and discern the Lord's body. Be sure you
get this. We examine ourselves and we truly
discern the Lord's body when we find absolutely no worthiness
in ourselves and all worthiness in Him and what He did. You wouldn't
have come to Christ in the beginning because you shaped yourself up
and said, okay, now I'm worthy to come to Him. I've examined
myself and I think I'm worthy. You would have never come to
Him. That wouldn't be faith. That's works. And we don't come to the
Lord's table that way. We have not taken the Lord's
table. If we come to the table thinking I'm worthy to take up
this table because I put away X amount of sin, I've got myself
all worthy now and I'm fit to come. That man hadn't examined
himself. That man is like a man that's
looked in the mirror and walked away and straightway forgot what
manner of man he saw in the mirror. When we examine ourselves, we
see in my flesh dwells no good thing. And when we discern the
Lord's body, it's seeing all my worthiness to even lift up
my head and ask for mercy is in Christ. When it says, he that eateth
and drinketh unworthily, and it says, drinking damnation to
himself, it's not that he partakes of the bread and wine being a
sinner. It's but that he partakes not owning Christ to be his all
and thinking there's some worthiness in him. That's what it is not
to discern the Lord's body and not to examine ourselves. Now
nothing in Peter made him worthy to take it. Not anything in him. Nothing in him. It was Christ
who gave it. The blood of Jesus Christ, His
Son, cleanseth us from all sin. That's our worthiness. Now, I
want to show you just a few more things here about eating this
bread, what it symbolizes. It symbolizes our living union
with Christ by faith. Back there in John 6 and John
6, 57, he said, as the living Father has sent me and I live
by the Father, So he that eateth me, even he shall live by me."
Now this is what Christ was saying as the Son of Man in His humanity.
As God the Son, He's equal with God. But He's saying, He sent
me forth. And as I live by the Father,
so that he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. We live
by them daily, just like we do the bread of our tables. I won't
belabor this point because we saw it recently, but you don't
eat your bread and go a week or a month at a time and not
eat bread anymore. You eat it every day. In the wilderness,
when they try to lay it up, put it in store and think, this will
save me from having to go out and gather the bread anymore,
it bred worms and it stank. and it wasn't good. God gives
grace daily, and we seek Him daily. And when you eat, what
do you do? When you take it and you put
it in your mouth, you chew it. You don't just take it and swallow
it. We don't take these things and just swallow them. The doctrine
of grace, we don't just take it and swallow it. We chew it.
We look into it and we see how this, we compare Scripture with
Scripture and we look in here and we see how this is the Word
of God all throughout the Scripture. That's what I, when I have you
turn to Scriptures and read them, it's not because I'm too lazy
just to read it to you. I want you to see it. I want
you to chew on it. I want you to I want you to break
it down and get it for yourself and see it. God chose me freely
in Christ Jesus by His grace. The more I chew on that, the
sweeter it gets, especially the more I see my own sin. God sent
forth His Son, and His Son came forth and lived for me and died
for me and redeemed me. And I'm seated with Him at the
right hand of God, never ever to be separated from Him. I'm
walking through a land of famine. I'm walking through a place that's
full of a famine of bread. That's my bread. I keep chewing
on that and chewing on that and chewing on that, and it don't
ever get old. God, the Holy Spirit, guides
me into all truth. He gave me life. He's taught
me these things. He guides me into all truth.
He keeps me. He turns me. He protects me.
And He's going to bring me to be with Christ forever one day,
fully, completely. I just keep chewing on that and
keep chewing on that, and it never gets old. I've heard somebody
make this illustration, and this is true. They were saying how
that, you know, you can sit down at your table, and if you eat
steak, Eventually, you get tired of eating steak. If you sit down
at your table and you eat fish, eventually you get tired of eating
fish. Whatever it is you sit down and eat, you get tired of
it. You could put some bread with it, and I don't ever get
tired of eating the bread. You give me steak, I'll eat bread
with it every time. You give me fish, I'll eat bread
with it. You give me another meal, I'll eat bread with it.
The bread don't ever get old. I'll just eat the bread, keep
eating the bread. It don't get old. See what I'm saying? The
bread, this don't get, we just lie, it's good. And then it,
food nourishes our bodies. It goes into us, it becomes one
with us and we're nourished, we're strengthened by it. John
6, 56, look there. He said, he that eateth my flesh
and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him. That's simple,
isn't it? When you eat something, it becomes
one with you. When you believe on the Lord, it's because He's
indwelling. Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Listen to this. Paul said, I'm crucified with Christ. That means
I died. Nevertheless, I live. But he
said, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. You know what this new
man, this inward man I keep telling you about, this new nature, this
having a righteous nature imparted to us, you know what it is? It's
Christ in you. Christ being formed in us, just
like bread goes into your body, and there's your strength, there's
your life, that's what nourishes you. It's that bread. Isaiah
55, he said, wherefore do you spend bread for that which is
not bread, or spend money for that which is not bread? Why
do you labor for that which satisfieth not? And he says, hearken diligently
unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight
itself in fatness. The inward man, that's what we're
talking about here. And then lastly, here's what
happens. When you come to a table, generally, when you come to somebody's
table, it's a symbol of friendship. It's a symbol of friendship.
By faith we have fellowship in Christ. Look at 1 John 1.3. 1
John 1. He says, John said, that which
we have seen and heard declare we unto you. That's what I'm
doing. See, I'm casting the bread out
right now and just hoping God, by His grace, He makes somebody
eat it. How do you eat this bread? It's
going to come to you through the hearing of the Word. That
which we've seen and heard declare we unto you that you also may
have fellowship with us. That you may have fellowship
with us. And what's our fellowship? Truly, our fellowship is with
the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. We have fellowship
with Him. We're a bunch of fellows in the
same ship. And that ships Christ. We have
fellowship with God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. He
said, I am in my Father and ye in me and I in you. That's called
oneness. That's called fellowship. When
you sit down at one table, you're all together. That's oneness.
Oneness. My favorite phrase in the whole
English language is this, accepted in the beloved. we have fellowship
with God. Holy God, we can come into His
presence and commune with Him and talk with Him and He'll speak
in our hearts because we have fellowship with Him through Christ.
So when we eat the bread, remember His body broken for you. Believer,
when you drink the wine, remember His blood shed for the remission
of our sin. And in the taking and the eating,
just when you take that cup and you take that bread, and as you
put it into your mouth, you remember, the just shall live by faith. That's how we live. And this
is what he promises. Blessed are those servants whom
the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching. He'll find them
watching, waiting on him, eager to see him come home. Verily
I say unto you, he shall gird himself and make them to sit
down to meet, and will come forth and serve them." You ever heard
of a king doing that for his servants? You ever heard of a
master doing that for his people? I guarantee you when our president
comes home from a trip, I bet you he don't walk in and sit
down and serve the people in the White House. I bet you they're
waiting on him hand and foot. This king's not like any other
king. He said, I'm going to set you down at my table, and I'm
going to feed you. That's what he's been doing since
the day we were born. What would be any different there?
Amen.
