Grace for your spirit

I say to you that many will come from the east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the sons of the kingdom will be cast into outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Matthew 8:11

Jesus was searching for faith among His people, but finding little. He found faith in a centurion. Many were seeking future security through trust in the law and great men of the law.  They thought if they are in the right associations, they will find their way to heaven.  The only table we should seek, and the only company to keep, is the company of Christ and His followers.  Our only way to eternal security is through Jesus Christ and faith in Him.
