The lord’s table symbolizes the finished work accomplished by Christ Jesus for our ultimate deliverance from sin and all its evil consequences (Eph 1:7, Gal 3:13). In light of this, we believe and recieve the full effect of his sacrificed, resurrected body and blood including healing and all that was purchased for us by him. Let us look at some truths concerning Healing and Health as contained in the Lord’s table.

Truth #1. The lord’s table remind us of our positional fellowship as children of God having made partakers of his divine nature (2peter 1:4).
Our sonship as born again children of God is our access or right to the lord’s table of which healing is one of the benefits, we do not have to struggle to have faith for it. Healing is ours and it is ours in abundance. There are always crumps and left over at the lord’s table. God wants us to feed and be overfed. (Mark 7:27-28), If the crumbs are potent enough to heal the daughter of the Syro-Phoenician woman, imagine the greater power of the food on the table meant for the children.

Truth #2. Healing is our right:
Healing is our legal right because the new covenant is a legal document sealed by the blood of Jesus. (Heb. 8:6; 12:24; 13:20.). This new covenant ensures that we receive all that Jesus achieved for humanity on the cross, which encompasses divine healing. (Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24.)
Regrettably, many sons of God approach the lord’s table and all that is theirs like this, “Lord, can I take a little?” In His wisdom, God wonders what they are talking about.
Healing is our inheritance and it’s given to us in a superfluous measure. We are not a co-heir but a Joint-heir with Christ Jesus – Rom 8:17.
Another interesting story in Acts 22:25-29 When Paul mentions that he’s a Roman citizen, the officer knows they’re in trouble. A Roman citizen may not be bound, and may not be scourged without being condemned by a public hearing. We as children of God can not be touched by any of sin’s consequences because christ has paid in full. In Christ, believers are granted a wealth of rights and privileges, such as the opportunity for a new life, liberation from the condemnation of sin, direct access to God, and the promise of inheritance in blessings. These rights arise from Christ’s sacrifice and are offered to everyone who places their faith in him.
(John 1:12, John 5:4)

Truth #3. God’s word is medicine:
Having a banquet on his word assures us of healing.(Prov 4:22, Ps 107:20)
In prov 4:22 the Hebrew word translated health is translated as medicine in some translations. Also one of the meaning of the word “health” in verse 22 is physician. God is a physician and the way He performs his own surgery is always in line with his word. God’s word works as a preventative as well as a cure. There is no cost and no danger of taking an overdose. Jesus is the word John 1:1-4.
In John 6:35, Jesus declares, “I am the bread of life.” Verses 53-58 of the same chapter highlight the significance in partaking of Christ, referred to as “the bread of life,” for the nourishment and sustenance of our spirit, soul and body.

Truth #4:
Another interesting and informative truth is that the Lord’s table symbolizes the intimate relationship and unity that believers experience as we participate in His death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 10:16-17). This connection allows us to access Christ’s life, strength, and resources for our spiritual and physical health.
John 10:10- God’s agender for his children is to have life in abundance.

In conclusion, All through scriptures, never was it recorded that Jesus felt sick or unable to heal the sick. His body was so strong that it could bear all our illnesses and afflictions (Isaiah 53:4), and this healthy body was sacrificed for us to partake in (1 Corinthians 11:24). Therefore, when we partake of His body and blood, we affirm that Jesus’ health and divine life are present in our physical bodies. Halleluyah
