Who is the host?

When we gather for the Lord's Supper, who is hosting the meal? Is it our meal to host or His? I loved this comment on a prior post regarding "fencing the table" from Alan Knox...
It's either the Lord's Table in which case he serves as host and invites all he accepts, or it's our table in which case we get to serve as host and invite whoever we choose.
That is really it in a nutshell. It is His Table. It is His Church. We are His Bride. When we lose focus on who it all belongs to, we get into all sorts of trouble like denying the fellowship of the Supper to other believers that He has elected, called, justified and adopted.
