We are taking a break from our series in Ephesians, looking at Christ in us, to celebrate the incarnation, the time when Christ was with us.
This was a nickname given to the Messiah hundreds of years earlier in the book of Isaiah, now quoted specifically in Matthew, here’s the story:
Mary, Joseph, Angel...
Matthew 1:20-
asdfk
Transition
The miracle of the incarnation, is that God became flesh.
God With Us.
Throughout this series, we will see the ways in which, through the incarnation, God was restoring the intimacy and fellowship he created us for.
And like the assigned seats at my grandmother’s, and at a beautiful English Tea here in Hockinson, we have been given a place at the table to eat with the king of kings.
You have a place at the table
illustration: This morning I stopped at Starbucks in BG…Good morning Shaun, what kind of Americano are we having today?
I didn’t recognize him…I didn’t know Chris (I do now), but I felt a powerful sense of belonging this morning.
Jesus is calling you by name to the table.
Let me show you what I mean...

Jesus’ “Blessed Sarcasm”
The broken and needy have a place at the table.
The only people not invited to the table are the ones who don’t think they need to be.
Whoever you are, whatever you have done, Jesus would eat with you.
You have a community at the table

Acts 2:
application
At the table of Christ you are a part of something bigger.
This morning I stopped at Starbucks in BG…Good morning Shaun, what kind of Americano are we having today?
I didn’t recognize him…I didn’t know Chris (I do now), but I felt a powerful sense of belonging this morning.
Jesus is calling you by name to the table.
Let me show you what I mean...
Hockinson Community Church is not a building.
We are a people who join together in the common cause of Loving God, Loving People, and Making Disciples for the glory of God because he has loved us and called us his own.
You have a name card on the table
illustration: Almost skipped Kathy’s party.
I would have missed out and the party would have been lacking.
1 Cor 12:12-
application
We matter at the table.
We matter to the host.
We matter to the other guests.
You have a role to play in the body.
I don’t mean that everyone serves in an official role (that would be cool), but that each person has the power to be the relationship that helps another brother or sister connect and grow in their role.
Helping and being helped
Giving and receiving
Loving and being loved.
You sit by the host at the table
illustration:
Luke 19:5-
application
You have direct access to the King at whose table you sit.
In the same way all are invited, all have access (Nicodemus…Zacchaeus)
Conclusion: You are invited to the table
illustration:
He comes to you where you are.
And he knocks.
