A few weeks ago we gathered as a family for Thanksgiving dinner. The table was set and many remarked on the beauty of the table and its settings. However, it would have been silly if that is all the family came to do, that is, to admire the table and then go home. The setting of the table had a purpose and that was to feed those who gathered around the table.
The purpose of the table of showbread was not to be admired itself but to show off the bread. Similarly the Word of God is not to be admired but to be our daily food. But it doesn't stop there. It has an even greater purpose and that is to show off the Living Word, Jesus Christ our Saviour.
