This morning as we gather around the Lord’s table, albeit in a different way to normal, we are confronted with our hope in the foreign land in which we live. As we peel back the top of our bread and wine this morning we see more than just food and water, we see an expression of the promise that God has made to each one of us who has come to trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. We see the debt of our sin paid and the way open to a new temple where God reigns and we are invited to join him.
