Christ’s presence with his people

I found this helpful quote in Gordon Keddie’s little book on the Lord’s Supper (Evangelical Press).

The son of God is present with his people in a distinctly personal way. This is a loving, gracious, caring, guiding presence, in which he acts as the believer’s interface with God as a heavenly Father, in terms of his being the accepted sacrifice for their sin that reconciles them to God. he has told the church in the world, “And lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt 28:20). that is, in every situation and circumstance, both collectively (i.e., the church as the temple of God and the body of Christ, 1 Cor. 3:16; 12:27) and individually (i.e., each believer as a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Cor 6:19), he is truly and constantly our Immanuel.
