For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.
Matthew 18:20
BSB
Read Matthew 18 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Matthew 18)
Two or three
Jesus promises that he is present wherever two or three gather in his name. No stadium, no cathedral. Two or three is enough.
Jewish tradition has a similar saying. The Sayings of the Fathers state that when two people sit together and speak about the Torah, God's presence is with them. Jesus puts himself in that place. Where people gather around him, God is there.
Question for today
Who can I be two or three with this week?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank you for the people I may share my faith with. Be in our midst when we gather, and make us a place where others can meet you. Amen.
