Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Let’s be honest. If Jesus would come to these events in person, we would make an extra special effort to be available. We forget, though, that Jesus is with us in Spirit. He told the disciples that He would take communion with them in the kingdom, which is the Church (Matthew 26:29); so, He is present with us while we partake of communion! Jesus is at the worship. He’s at the Bible studies. He’s at the potluck, the VBS, the gospel meetings, the lectureships, etc. Are you?
