Humbling Approaching the Lord’s Supper

“Right reception of the Lord’s Supper has a ‘humbling’ effect on the soul.

Never should we be so ‘clothed with humility,’ as when we receive the Lord’s Supper.”

“Tell your children of the duty and privilege of going to Church, and joining in the prayers of the congregation. Tell them that wherever the Lord’s people are gathered together, there the Lord Jesus is present in a special way, and that those who are absent must expect, like the Apostle Thomas, to miss out on a blessing.
