The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the fellowship of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the fellowship of the body of Christ? Seeing that there is one bread, we who are many are one Body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Cor. 10:16-17
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see that to come to the Lord’s table is to enter into the good land and enjoy Christ as the good land (1 Cor. 10:16-17).
The experience of the children of Israel in the good land typifies our enjoyment of Christ today. Christ is our good land, and the various aspects of the riches of Christ are typified by the produce of the land. If we enjoy the rich supply of Christ, we shall be able to live Christ. We shall also be empowered to defeat the enemies. The enemies are always defeated when we enjoy Christ. Furthermore, through the enjoyment of the riches of Christ, the kingdom of God is established in the church, and the temple is built for God’s dwelling place. All these matters—living the Christian life, defeating the enemies, establishing the kingdom of God, and building the house of God—issue out from the enjoyment of the riches of Christ.
Now we must see that these riches are displayed on the Lord’s table. Therefore, the table is a feast for our enjoyment. Many of us have been attending the Lord’s table for years, but we have never had this understanding of the table. It is crucial for us to understand that to come to the table is to enjoy Christ as the good land. (Life-study of 1 Corinthians, msg. 50, by Witness Lee)
