GPP 76: Jesus Attends His Own

So George isn’t coming, nor Gloomy Gus;
Neither is Mary Sue, or Blasingame—
So what? Jesus promised to be with us,
If even two or three meet in His name!
If believers use His name, what is asked
Is given; when they meet, He is present;
When few or many gather, His work tasked,
Those are blessed, strengthened, and made more
pleasant!
Jesus’ name penetrates the strongest wall;
Climbs the highest mount; rules the wildest sea;
Rides the farest star; stills the stormy squall;
Breaks the hardest heart; saves the lost and me!
All we humans should praise His holy name,
For saving us from death, from sin, from shame!

Promise Made: Matthew 18:20 (Jesus speaks)—
“ ‘For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with
them.’ “ (NIV)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
