“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
- Matthew 18:20

Means something to some here and there...

Context of that verse...confronting a brother in sin, who refuses to repent. The other believing brothers who confront him stand as a testimony that the Lord is in their decision.

Jesus is present at all times.

To the unbeliever He is beside them ...”para” convicting to God’s glory.

To the believer He is inside him ..”en” convicting to truth and righteousness

To the believer to do His work, for His glory, He is upon them ...”epi” upon them in His power.

The three positions of the Holy Spirit, as given in clear words in the NT.

If the verses are needed for further understanding, I’ll gladly provide them in reply after I cut the lawn, with God’s Spirit inside “en” me =o)
