“Feasting is for Joy,” Solomon says. The message is then that this holy feast, the greatest of all Christian feasts, is a feast where joy ought to be prominent. This is what we are called to do. For those of you who are visiting, you are going to see and hear us enjoy each other’s company and greet each other, and this should be a testimony to you that God delights in the joy of his children. Those who are forgiven are forgiven to rejoice in that forgiveness. What we do together in this meal is marked by an exuberant joy; a joy given by Our Host, Jesus Christ.
