COME AND ‘DINE ~ THE MASTER CALLETH!

Hymnary Friends,

Of course, he then pointed out that the song was referring to spiritual food. Actually it uses the physical to make an analogy to the spiritual. I think I was introduced to this song in my youth by our pastor, the late Bill Hopkins. He taught us quite a few songs from our hymnals that we had not sung before. I like the way the song is set up: I find myself looking at songs this way because when I sing in front of a group with my husband, I try to have the words memorized. I find that the more I look at the lyrics of this hymn, the more I like it.

Have not thought of this hymn in years. It was a favorite of a former pastor, and we sang it a lot many years ago. Thanks for posting it…brings back good memories.

So cool to see this song. Sang it way back in the day , in a little United Pentecostal Church, in Chicago Heights, Il, at the time it was just a little store front.

As a teen ager going through a very tough home life it brought great joy to me to sing this song. Come and Dine Jesus has a table spread where the saints of God are fed He invites his chosen people come and dine With his manna he doth feed and supplies our every need Oh tis sweet to sup with Jesus all the time.

Refrain Soon the lamb will take his bride to be ever at his side All the host of heaven will assembled be Oh twill be a glorious sight all the saints in spotless white And with Jesus they will feast eternally.

James on Friday May 7, at Of course we are wise to seek growth in the faith, right? So why does it seem like I am about to give those doppy disciples a hard time, and throw a little mockery at them like I do so often when they are not getting it and saying dumb things?

Come and Dine

Because I am about to give them a hard time, for once again they are not getting it. And the compassionate Jesus sees us all not getting it; so, rather than giving up on them or us, he speaks words of comfort, peace, and hope. If you have heard or read the gospel lessons over the past four weeks, you have been taking in what I am now calling the Sermon at the Table. The gospel of Mark is fast moving and focused on action, so he does not include any long preaching passages.

“Come And Dine, The Master Calleth”

But this Sermon at the Table has really caught my attention these past four weeks. It began back on September 11 th when we read that Jesus was welcoming sinners and tax collectors. Because of which, Pharisees and scribes were grumbling that he not only welcomed these unworthy ones, but he was eating with them as well.

This grumbling launched the table-talk telling of the lost sheep and lost coin parables.

But more importantly, the table remains a central image through much of what he is saying and the stories he is telling. There the banqueting tables to celebrate the lost ones sheep, coin, and son being found, there is an accounting table at which debts are reduced, last week this was a table of abundance and there is punishment when it is not shared, and this week, there is a table to which even the servants and slaves are invited.

And having feasted on all this good news, all this satisfying assurance, all these nourishing promises, all the disciples can say is: You almost expect Jesus to say: What do I have to do for you to get it, die for you?

THANKS FOR DROPPING BY -

Refrain: “Come and dine,” the Master calleth, “Come and dine”; You may feast at Jesus' table all the time; He Who fed the multitude, turned the water into wine. “Come and dine,” the Lord is calling, “Come and dine”— We can eat based on John It is also known by the chorus, "Come and dine, the Master calleth.".

But that bad joke certainly would have fallen even flatter than the two chapters of good news stories did. Jesus tells them they must forgive when someone asks for it, even if they are walking all over you like a doormat seven times a day.

You must forgive, Jesus says. And if that is the case, then maybe we can cut the disciples some slack. Today we begin a series of acknowledgements as we were make our way to All Saints Day on Nov.
