One of the great expressions in the Gospels is the phrase ‘in the midst.’ It tells us that Christ is among us as our Immanuel. He is:

• In the Midst of Our Questions—Luke 2:46. As a child, He stood among the questioning rabbis.
• In the Midst of Our Persecution—Luke 4:40; John 8:59. He walked throught the midst of His enemies.
• In the Midst of Our Worship—Matthew 18:20
• In the Midst of Our Need—John 10:18, crucified in the midst of thieives.
• In the Midst of Our Victory—Luke 24:36 and John 20;19
• In the Midst of Our church—Revelation 1:13, walking in the midst of the candlesticks.
• In the Midst of Heaven—Revelation 5:6 and 7:17

[William Graham Scroggie 1877-1958 was born at Great Malvern, England, of Scottish parents. At 19 he entered Spurgeon's College in London at the age of 19 to train for the Baptist ministry. Turned out of his first two churches in London and Yorkshire because of his opposition to modernism and worldliness, he eventually became pastor of Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, during World War II. Ill health forced him to retire in 1944. He devoted his remaining years to completing his literary work, The Unfolding Drama of Redemption. He died on December 28, 1958.]

Always Remember...

Jesus is in the midst of your life, your business, your home, and your friendships. Do you look for Him there? He waits to offer you renewal and refreshment.

"On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink" (John 7:37).
