Thanks Bob

Last night I was joined in the discussion on the Tabernacle by my brother-in-law Bob. We spent most of our time looking at the Table of Showbread. He referred to David when he was running from Saul and came to the priests at Nob. He asked for bread and all they had was the showbread. The priest made an interesting comment. He told David that he could have the bread to eat if he and his men were ceremonially clean. It was a striking reminder that it is only those with clean hands and a pure heart can enter into communion with God. As we come to the communion table we are to examine ourselves to make sure that we are ceremonially clean and then we are to eat. Our relationship with God does not depend upon what we do but on what He has done but our fellowship with Him can be marred by being unclean.
