Seeing Jesus in the Supper
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR JESUS, COME TO HIS TABLE
As we live out our new lives in Christ in the year 2025, what the Apostle Peter wrote of first-century believers is true of us. “Though you have not seen him, you love him" (1 Pet 1:8). We’ve never laid eyes upon Jesus, but we long for that day when our faith will turn to sight and we enter into the fullness of everlasting life. But our journey home is long. We often lose sight of where we're going. Our faith in the Beloved but yet-to-be-seen Savior ebbs and flows. We think to ourselves, “If only I could just see Jesus! If only he was right here with me. Walking alongside me. Then, I could keep going. I would know this is real and worth it.” We love him but we don't yet see him. But the good news is that he loves us so much that he provides a special way to behold him: the Lord's Supper. Through the broken bread and poured out cup, Jesus shows us that he’s with us and will never leave our side.
