![]() This does not depend on what we can do, but on what He undertakes to do. There does not need to be a moment in which that presence cannot be our experience. When Christ said “always ” (Matthew 28:20), He meant to assure us that there is not a day of our lives in which that blessed presence is not with us. Here, as elsewhere in the spiritual life, everything depends on faith, on accepting Christ’s words as divine reality, and on trusting the Holy Spirit to make it true to us from moment to moment. Yet how many servants of Christ, find it difficult to understand all that is implied in it and how it can become the experience of their daily lives! It also makes the grace that enables us to claim this presence as our strength and our joy something inexpressibly blessed. ![]() The revelation of God’s omnipresence in the Man, Christ Jesus, makes the mystery still deeper. The psalmist spoke of God’s omnipresence as something beyond his comprehension: “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me it is high, I cannot attain unto it” (Psalm 139:6). The Omnipotent One is surely the Omnipresent One. When Christ said to His disciples, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18), the promise immediately followed: “I am with you always” (verse 20). (Genesis 26:24), their faith responded, “Thou The second thought is omnipresence -God’s promise of His unseen presence The first thought of the true God,Īlmighty” (Genesis 35:11). Often thinks first of power, however limited.
