Our sermon today
talked about submission but it was not an admonition to submit with our arms
crossed in a huff and our faced creased with steely resolve. That really is not
submission at all. The place where we learn godly submission is right here at this Table.
First of all, Jesus submitted to the will of the Father. He did so
with blood-sweat and tears. But He also did it for the joy that was set before
Him. Herein is that joy realized. He did
it to bring us to the Table of Fellowship.
At this place, you must take your guard down. Uncross your arms,
remove the creased brow, lay down your burdens, come in humble compliance to
Jesus, and for this joy, this realized joy of fellowship, come and eat with
Jesus. You see, the fruit of honorable submission is what we are doing now, peaceful
fellowship.
