This Thursday evening we partake of a meal that the LORD God has prepared with His own hands. It is a holy feast which nourishes our faith and restores our souls. It is a rich feast purchased with the most costly coin, the Son of God. Today we eat and drink; we remember, and we give humble thanks. Other holy meals have brought us to this feast, all meals provided by the hands of the Holy One. This day we remember the Passover meal and the blood of lambs on the doorposts that protected the Israelites from the angel of death. We remember the Day of Passover and the Passover lamb because it points to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. It points us to this holy feast of this Lamb’s body and blood. But there is one greater feast yet to come: the marriage feast of the Lamb in His kingdom which has no end. A feast provided by the hands of the LORD God. A feast enjoyed in the presence of the Lamb in the courts of His heaven. A greater feast indeed!
