He desires our fellowship. He is present with all of us all the time. But there is a special presence and awareness for those who desire it. He calls to us in this midnight of the church age to sup with Him. Today many decisions are made over dinner.
Business people use dinner as a time to make deals and communicate their positions.
It is impossible to describe how the Lord Jesus uses these times of special fellowship to enlighten and empower His people. He accomplishes His purpose in our lives by supping with us. Dr. J. Culross has a wonderful story that is related in the The Biblical Illustrator. An old woman lived in a small cottage by the seashore. She had only one relative, a grown son who lived and worked at sea.
