I acknowledge myself unworthy, utterly unworthy of the honour; unfit, utterly unfit for the service to which I am now called. It is an inestimable privilege, that I am permited so often to hear from Thee in Thy word, and to speak to Thee in prayer: and yet, as if it had been a smaller matter, In am now invited into communion with Thee at Thy holy table, there, to celebrate the memoprial of my Savior's death, and to partake by faith of the precious benefits which flow from it. I who deserve not the crumbs, am called to eat the children's bread!
Let the blood of Christ, be sprinkled upon my conscience, to purify and pacify that... Let me be assured that Thou art reconciled to me, that my iniquities are pardoned, and that I shall not come into condemnation. There (at the table) say unto me, be of good cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee.
I here give up myself to Him as my prophet, Priest, and King to be ruled and taught and saved by Him; this is my beloved and this is my friend. None but Christ, none but Christ! (Matthew Henry)
As we had the Lord's Supper this Sunday... this is my deepest prayer. May I not forget!
