Hello, John and Doves,
Q: What's for
dinner?
A: "Then Jesus explained:
'My nourishment comes from doing the will of God,
who sent me, and from finishing his work.' " John 4:34
That means, if you want a foretaste
of the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, obey God!
What do I mean? Aren't all
the most memorable meals in your life meals where you
had the best fellowship? Well, that's what the
Wedding Supper will be like--all the best conversation
you've ever had, dinner or otherwise.
It is written,
"Two are better than one; because they have a
good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the
one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that
is alone when he falleth; for he hath
not another to help him up. Again, if two lie
together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm
alone? And if one prevail against him, two
shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not
quickly broken."
You see, the essential nature
of the Church is in its very name, ἐκκλησία,
"assembly."
In a direct sort of way, every
local Church is an "assembly" of parts to look like the
body of Christ.
Just as we all look different--and
yet we are all homo sapiens [most of the people you know
are sapiens]--so the different local churches look
different. Revelation,
chapter 2 and chapter
3.
So, if you experience true
fellowship down here, going to heaven will be just
like going to the most perfect home you never knew.
Fellowship--it's what's for
dinner in the New Jerusalem.
