\u201cCome, Lord Jesus, be our guest\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Kinship Christian Radio Announcer Beth Crosby recently spoke of
Russian missionaries being told there were three phrases which they
must know in any language:<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI forgive you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time for supper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahhh, supper.<\/p>\n

Supper is my favorite meal. Breakfast is nice, but you have a whole day\u2019s
work ahead of you. And breakfast generally doesn\u2019t have the variety
of options supper generally has. Lunch is a good break to the day, but
again, one tends to eat quickly to get back to work. Lunch always seems
to have a deadline.<\/p>\n

Supper is where you sit down to a meal after a long day and you are
reunited with the family. Hopefully, there\u2019s nothing pressing or urgent
to rush the meal. You can just enjoy it–and supper often includes
dessert. (Who ever heard of dessert after breakfast?)<\/p>\n

Yes, supper is special.<\/p>\n

When Beth was talking about those phrases the missionaries were
should know, it came as no surprise that she linked the first two to
God\u2019s love and forgiveness. I did not expect her to link the last phrase to
the Lord\u2019s Supper.<\/p>\n

Of course, I should have. Beth Crosby knows the Lord and does a
wonderful job of revealing God\u2019s glory in places we might have missed.<\/p>\n

And, yes, the Lord\u2019s Supper is where we are reunited with the family of
God outside the hustle and bustle of the work-a-day world. It is where
we gather around the table with Jesus. It is where the bread and the
wine are blessed and passed among the believers to share. It is where
we feel forgiven and loved\u2014where we most share fellowship with our
Lord.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time for supper\u201d is indeed one of the most beautiful phrases in
any language, because it is an invitation to be blessed and to share.<\/p>\n

The Lord\u2019s Supper is an invitation to a feast of remembrance and
celebration not just of His death on the cross, but of His resurrection andHis promise.<\/p>\n

And the dessert is the joy we feel in being His child, an heir to the
kingdom of God, forgiven and free.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Praise<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, I stand at the door and I shall knock. If a man listens
to My voice and will open the door, I also shall come in and I
shall have supper with him, and he with Me<\/i>.\u201d Revelation 3:20<\/p>\n
