Overview & Insights
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20)
Jesus teaches a process for confronting a fellow believer who sins, moving from a private conversation to witnesses to the whole church. He grants the community authority to bind and loose and promises his presence where two or three gather in his name.
