Two Gathered

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.  Matthew 18:20

Therefore did they limit all church activities to the required two or three persons... Nope, that isn't the context of this verse. The number of witness, two or three, came from the law where a sinner was not to be convicted (and thus lose his life) on the word of but one witness. You and I can see how the word of but one witness could be abused for evil purposes. We have likely seen it in person or in the media when an allegation from one person has gone out to destroy an innocent life. Two or three brothers and sisters in Christ can help us avoid personal error in our scripture reading as well. It is easy to tweak a scripture to what I want it to say, and the old flesh is ever looking out for an advantage. No one around you right now? Jesus gave to us His Spirit so that we are always gathered with Him. 

Rejoice in the Spirit every moment!

P.S. Phew! I have written and deleted a great many things this morning. Being out sick most of last week shows in a writing that just isn't flowing forth well this morning.
