Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt

Not going to spoil it all early. Random samples for coming Sunday eve:

it is not an ordinary table we come to this evening . . . Because if you were to look at just the individual pieces of the Lord’s table, you might not think much of it . . . The idea of “price,” the value we place on something, is important to think about when at the Lord’s Table. The concepts of price and value mean something in Communion . . . [this] question must have crossed God’s mind at the beginning of eternity . . . All of us by virtue of our sin must pay something for breaking God’s Law of Righteousness. And the price we must pay? . . . He looked at the hopelessness of our futures, He looked at the eternal separation from Him that was our destiny, God looked at us . . . Because there was a very clear price to be paid for our sins, there was a debt that needed to be paid . . . That’s why the Lord’s table is no ordinary table; that’s why the Lord’s table is precious . . . in the silence of your hearts think of this idea of price and value.
