Matthew 18:20 English Standard Version (ESV) For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.
Christ in you and Christ in me. When we come together He is there. This passage is not theoretical, it is real.
When we come together He is ready and willing to share Himself.
The happiest of times can be found in fellowship when we can see Christ in others. It is life confirming because Christ in us recognizes Christ in others.
We should never have to feel like we have to prove ourselves. We have the proof we need.
We are human and we all struggle with something. We can help each other with these struggles and when we are in fellowship our best help is Christ in the person in front of you.
Hebrews 2:7-8 English Standard Version
7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under his feet.” 8 Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.
When we are in subjection to Him nothing is beyond His ability to control.
So often we feel like we need to do something but the real power to help resides in us, the love of Christ.
We are subject to Him. He is loving and kind and will not force Himself on us. He cares about us as individuals and will use Christ in others to speak the truth in love when we find it difficult to express ourselves.
Be subject to Him and He will use us to help one another.
We do not struggle alone.
