The gathering of Christians to worship can and should be life transforming. Christians often quote, “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” May we remember that He is not gathered with us to add one to the head count. He is there as the focal point of our worship, the One around Whom we gather. He is there as our contact with the Father. He makes the transcendent One immanent; He brings communion and intimacy to the Ancient of Days. This makes the community of believers different from all communities on earth.
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” Matthew 18:20
