So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet. |
|
|
2 Samuel 9:13 |
|
| |
Hearing the generous, gracious offer of the king, Mephibosheth didn’t say, “Thanks, king. I’ll see if I can drop in occasionally to have a bite with you now and then.” No, he said, “King, I can’t believe you would do this for a man like me. I will eat at your table continually.”
When he came to David’s table, did Mephibosheth walk straight? No. He was still lame in both his feet. He was still affected by the sin of the fall. So why is it that when Jesus says, “Come and dine,” we say, “I can’t. I’m too lame”? The Lord calls us just as we are to come and dine with Him. He calls you in the state you’re in to receive the grace and abundance He has for you. The Table is set. And the Table is the only place where lame, twisted, crippled feet can’t be seen.
Are you burdened because you’re always looking at your flaws and your shortcomings - or are you blessed as you partake of the abundance of grace and mercy at the King’s Table? I understand that many of us have been dropped brutally. But you must understand that you don’t have to remain in your lame condition day after year after decade. Jesus was broken, that you might be healed. And His blood was shed to wash away the sin and the memory of that which haunts you. Come and dine, and you’ll find yourself back in the land where you perhaps once were or where you long to be. Mephibosheth accepted the king’s invitation. May we do the same. |
