Jesus Present to Inspect
Matthew 18:19-20
Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask…


He is Light. He is the Searcher of hearts, the great Revealer. He visits thus all His Churches. He knows them all — their constitution, their practice, their state. He visits them as the florist visits his garden, to watch the progress of choice plants and flowers. He visits them as the shepherd does his flock, to inspect the condition of his sheep. He visits them as the officer does his soldiers, to see if they are at their post, if their discipline is as it should he, and their arms in good condition. What a sight for Christ do some churches professedly Christian present! How must His holiness loathe the worldliness, selfishness, pride, and the many foul abominations that are covered with a Christian name! Christ is here for inspection. .No member, no character, no practice, no thought, word, wish, or feeling, escapes the notice of His eye. Christian professor! Christ sees thee. Thou art fully and thoroughly known to Him.

(J. Basley.)
