I was reading in the old testament today and ran across something I think might be interesting. There are many places in the laws that says to convict someone of wrongdoing there must be two or three witnesses. There are many other places in scripture that keep to this principle of two or three people being witnesses to something to validate it.

Then in Matthew 18 Jesus says "where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Is Jesus saying that when two or three of us gather in his name there should be something to witness. There is this principle of the two or three people being witnesses to something. Maybe every time we gather in the name of Jesus there should be things happening that need validating. Jesus says that when two or three gather he is there. If Jesus is present with us as we gather maybe something should be happening. Jesus our redeemer is present with us. If Jesus shows up somewhere that is quite significant. Although I haven't been to a lot of gatherings that need witnesses. Things are pretty run of the mill we sing, talk a little, teach some stuff, and then go home. I think most people would believe that kind of stuff happens when we gather. Lets intentionally invite Jesus to gather with us and maybe see what happens. Maybe if we truly invite the presence of Jesus or truly gather in his name we will need some witnesses of what is going on, otherwise who would believe it?
