Why Should I Partake?

You will properly ask yourself why you propose to come to the Lord’s Table. If rightly disposed, your answer, to be sufficient, must be something like this: Because T believe in the Lord Jesus, because I love him, and because I wish to remember Jiim as mj djing Eedeeiner. Not because I am good, but in the deep persuasion that I am a Binner. As a sinner, relying on his righteousness, receiving his promise, and hoping for his Spirit, I desire to sit at the foot of his cross. As ignorant and wavering, I crave new faith, in this holy ordinance. As his child and servant, I long to come out from the world, and make the most public avowal of my attachment and subjection to him. And as a Christian, I would hasten to own my fellowship and unity with that body, of which this bread and wine are the communion.
