The Presence Of Jesus

How present is Jesus with you? How near is Jesus with you when you speak to him?
The name “Immanuel”, means God is with us. Jesus is with us, and draws near to us, when we draw near to him. Jesus is present with us.
The Psalmist writes, “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” (Psalm 145:18, ESV).
God spoke through the Prophet Jeremiah of his presence, saying, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13, ESV).
God is present with us. When we call to God, God is present with us. When we look for God, we will find God present with us.
May we never experience being alone as God is present with us. As we call upon God, and as we look for God, may we experience God’s intimate presence with us.
In Christ alone, Robbie
A Collect For The Presence Of Christ: “Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and the day is past; be our companion in the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may know you as you are revealed in Scripture and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your love. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
