From Ray Ortlund ...
. . . there am I among them. Matthew 18:20
“There am I, not only I will be there, but I am there; as if he came first, is ready before them, they shall find him there.”
Matthew Henry, Commentary (McLean, n.d.), V:262. Italics original.
The Lord isn’t saying, “If you show up, so will I.” He is saying, “If you gather to be with me, I’m already there. I will so not withhold myself from my seeking friends.”
