In His Crosshairs
None can escape the wrath of the Lord, but some have an Advocate with Him (1 John 2:1 bibref1john2 bibref1john2v1). Men are either in His crosshairs, or they look to His Son’s work on the cross. God’s bow is strung and aimed at their faces (Psalm 21:12 bibrefpsalms21 bibrefpsalms21v12), or Christ’s blood is spilled and atoned for their sins (Revelation 1:5 bibrefrevelation1 bibrefrevelation1v5).
Our time at the Lord’s Table is a remembrance of Christ’s death, and also a proclamation of it (1 Corinthians 11:26 bibref1corinthians11 bibref1corinthians11v26). We remember the sacrifice and we rejoice in our salvation. We are not yet sitting on thrones, but we’ve been richly blessed by He who sits at the right hand of the Father (Acts 2:23 bibrefacts2 bibrefacts2v23). He gives us life and length of days. Because He has made peace, we can be glad with joy in His presence.
His glory is great through our salvation, and so we will sing and eat and drink in praise of His strength.
