Obedience carries in it the life-blood of religion. Obey the voice of the Lord God (Deut. 27:10), and do His commandments. Obedience without knowledge is blind, and knowledge without obedience is lame.

But more than this, the Supper was a time in which to partake of the benefits of Christs death by faith, to be fed and cherished by the Lord in his own banqueting house, and to obtain a foretaste of the glory which will be fully realized only in heaven. Watsons aim was to stimulate greater love to Christ in His people, and to enhance their appreciation of the Supper as a spiritual feast for all believers.
