Based on this, I have been researching showbread and pondering a "prolonged verb," understanding the difference between the English translation "called" and the original Greek which actually suggests "called with a holy calling" or "invited with a sacred invitation," and processing the fact that to be saved has many connotations (rescued, healed, delivered, protected, preserved --- all very different, though related; I have meditated on each).
The grace we were given before time began, before eternity was conceived --- that is His showbread, a constant offering on a table, set before Himself, in His own Presence --- a glory from the Lord, to the Lord, by way of us. We were not needed; we were included. We were offered a divine calling to perceive, receive, believe, and even eat.
