Day 6: In My Name
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in My name, there AM I with them” (Matthew 18:19-20).
Jesus affirms that wherever two or three are assembled together in His name, He is in the midst of them.
In My name - That is,
By My authority, acting for Me in My church. See John 10:25; John 16:23.
It may mean for My service; in the place of prayer and praise, assembled in obedience to My commend, and with a desire to promote My glory.
There AM I in the midst of them - Nothing could more clearly prove that Jesus must be omnipresent, and, of course, be God.
Every day, perhaps every hour, two or three, or many more, may be assembled in every city or village in the United States, in England, in Greenland, in Africa, in [Sri Lanka], in [South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands], in Russia, and in Judea - in almost every part of the world - and in the midst of them all is Jesus the Saviour.
Millions thus at the same time, in every quarter of the globe, worship in His name, and experience the truth of the promise that He is present with them. It is impossible that He should be in all these places and not be God.
~ Barnes's Notes on the Bible
Come, O thou God of grace,
Make this a holy place,
Where Christ is heard.
Draw every heart to Thee,
And may our worship be
Lives offered pure and free
To Christ, our Lord!
Be in each song of praise
Which here thy people raise
With hearts aflame!
Let every anthem rise
Like incense to the skies,
A joyful sacrifice
To Thy blest Name!
Speak, O eternal Lord,
Out of Thy living Word,
O give success!
Do Thou the truth impart
Unto each waiting heart;
Source of all strength Thou art;
Thy gospel bless!
To the great One in Three
Glory and praises be
In love now giv’n!
Glad songs to Thee we sing
Glad hearts to Thee we bring,
Till we our God and King
Shall praise in heav’n!
~ William E. Evans ~ 1886
