Searching for the Joy - 7

De 16:14 – “You are to keep the feast with joy, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you.”

Again talking about the “feast of the Lord” (that’s three in a row). The interesting thing I read a couple times here was the list of people to bring with you. God doesn’t seem to want anyone left out. He wanted everyone to celebrate with his people. It does raise some questions about having strangers and children celebrating communion (the new covenant equivalent of the feast). It also encourages me. Having a church social or potluck in the near future? Invite someone and share it with them.

In Christ plays in 10 000 places, Peterson spend a great deal of time on the importance of meals as an extension of the Lord's Supper.

I wonder about our requirment that someone be 'saved' to participate in remembering Jesus.
