An expression taken from
Matt. 23:18
18
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. (Matthew 23:18)
, where the Lord’s presence is promised to two or three gathered to His name. The small number doubtless refers to times when no more than this can be found thus to assemble together; to such this promise is very precious, giving as it does to those thus assembled all the power of the assembly (1 Con, 5.). The
name
spoken of doubtless refers to Matt. 16, when Jesus expressly takes the name of Christ no longer as the Jewish Messiah, but as the foundation of the church He was about to build, and which is referred to in chap. 18.
