LUKE 6--

The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.

Luke 6.5

 

Last night, with Andrew Murray, Two Covenants, I saw that the issue of salvation is Fellowship.

 

Fellowship accomplishes all the purposes of Your Spirit determined upon

before the Creation of the world for eternity to come

--in Your eternal Kingdom now and continued throughout the coming ages.

 

Mary chose this good thing.

 

Martha, Martha, only a few things are needed--

Indeed, only one.

Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.

Luke 10.41-42 

"Mary sat at the Lord's feet listening to what He said." v. 39

 

Fellowship.  Sitting, or walking, or eating and drinking with the Lord Jesus at a table or in a grain field, every day of every week we live--at a pool side, in a funeral procession, on another  shame-filled, lonely, weary afternoon--wherever, whenever, with the Lord Jesus--with a thief on an old rugged cross. 

 

FELLOWSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS IS WHAT WE ARE  ALIVE FOR . 

This is what we are created for--

love, joy, and peace with the Lord Jesus every day, every place, now and forever. 

Jesus looked forward to the time when He would eat and drink with His disciples at His table  in His eternal Kingdom. Luke 22.30 

Until we are with Jesus at His eternal table, we have a banquet table with our great and good Shepherd, Who walks with us through valleys and on high mountains and sits with us in green pastures beside still waters, restoring our souls with His words of life. 

In all the different times and places of this life, Jesus walks beside us.

He walks with us and talks with us and tells us we are His very own.   

The joy we share with Him is personal and unique to each of us, known in a way known by none other. 

The love, joy, and peace we share with Jesus now is with the Creator of the Universe.

The Sabbath was only a shadow of the reality of the presence of Jesus in a grain field.

 

Any place and any time spent with Jesus is the great goal for today and eternity to come.

 

Mary chose this good thing, the best thing.

So can we.
