Halyburton on Communion

From a communion sermon by Thomas Halyburton:

"Poor soul! It may be, thou hast been full of misdoubting thoughts. What! will He who is the high and lofty One, that inhabits eternity, ever let me near Him? Me! sinful me! Come and see O sinner, Him Whom thou longest for, skipping upon this hill, leaping upon this mountain, cheerfully coming over this difficulty; come to His table and see that, though Christ be high, yet He regards the poor and lowly (Ps. 138:6). He stoops indeed, when He receives praises, when He bends His ear to hear thy prayers; but here He is a step lower; He is willing to sit at the same table with you; nay, before you should doubt His kindness, He will step a step lower; He will set you at the table, and He will serve."
