STEEMCHURCH - THE PRESENCE OF GOD
Welcome to my blog
God bless you!
Wherever I make the memory of my name, I will come to you and bless you.
Exodus 20:24
(Jesus said :) Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.
Matthew 18:20
What is the purpose of Christians when they meet? Worship God, praise, pray, read the Bible together, meet brothers and sisters in faith ... of course! But, above all, be with the Lord. The presence of the Lord is one of the great benefits of Christian meetings.
The Lord Jesus is invisible, however he is there according to his promise. His presence is spiritual, but effective and real for the faith, as when he appeared in the midst of his people on the Sunday of his resurrection. "Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, Peace be to you" (John 20:19).
Jesus made this promise to those who would gather around him, in his honor. The Holy Spirit is also there working. Communicate what comes from God, and presents all the virtues of the person of Christ. We can say that it animates the meeting. Work in the thoughts of each one, insofar as the Lord, through his effective presence, is the very source of the blessing. Being our Savior and at the same time the sovereign God, He is still the One who loved us and who loves us. He is the one we love, to whom we pray and adore, serving him with joy and fervor. He is there, in the midst of those for whom he gave himself.
Your presence is the supreme good;
Your love will never wane;
Your heart gives to those who love you
Rest, joy, full peace.
