On Acts 2:37 –
“Therefore, let us make up our minds that when coming to commune at the table of Jesus Christ, we do what is demonstrated here, namely that we confess our sins in such a way that, instead of delighting in them, we have the pricking of the heart spoken here so that we can come and seek in the Lord’s Supper what we are supposed to find in it. It is true that we will not be appropriately prepared for approaching this holy table, but knowing our infirmity, we must very reverently seek in it what is lacking in us. That is why the Lord’s table is offered to us so many times. We are so weak that we are no sooner lifted up that we fall again straightway” – John Calvin, Sermons on the Acts of the Apostles, Chapters 1-7, 24-25.
