Let Us
“Let us go forth therefore unto Him” (Hebrews 13:13).
The “us” in this verse denotes a collective aspect to the going forth. Together with other believers, we are to meet for worship and praise around Himself. Notice it is “unto Him.” Not unto a certain group of Christians, or where it is most convenient. Not simply because we like the people or their way of doing things, but “unto Him.”
When the Lord sent the disciples to prepare the passover, they said to Him, “Where wilt Thou that we prepare?” (Luke 22:9). As a result of following His instructions, we read, “And when the hour was come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him” (Luke 22:14). This then was the very spot where the Lord Jesus took a loaf and a cup and explained to His own how they were to commemorate Him after He had died, risen and returned to glory.
Today we still have the privilege of remembering the Lord Jesus with others of His own, and with Himself in the midst. He has said, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). This promise still stands!
