When I think of the beggar Lazarus who sat at the rich man's gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from his table, I see the post modern church. That beggar was so hungry, he could only dream of a couple of flakes of bread to fall into his dirty hands, and savor the morsels.
There is a great spiritual hunger in our land, and millions go from table to table trying to eat scraps. But there is nothing consistent. There is no shortage of spiritual junk food. There seems to be no satiating, soul nourishing sustenance that keeps the saints at one table.
The table of the Lord. "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." So clearly we see there can be only one table.
If we do not have the proper spiritual Bread then how can the Holy Spirit bear witness within us. "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
How are we to be those who bear witness of the truth if after we have received it, to afterward go from table to table. We ultimately are going to sit at the table of Jesus in His eternal Kingdom, so we need to take a good look at whose table we have a habit of eating at now.
The eternal cost is too great to spend at the table of another though the food tastes good, and appealing to the eye. "Stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant, But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell."
As there is "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all," there is only ONE truth the Holy Spirit will bear witness of and nobody else, and nothing else. Right now it is very tempting to enter into the broad path through cheap, costless means.
But the narrow road is for them that find it, and remain on it. These always sit at the table of the Lord and never consider it contemptible, but a privilege and high honor, and would never think of eating anywhere else.
