God with us

This is a verse that is often mis-interpreted. Many think that it means that when a few people are gathered, Christ is with them. But, in fact, God is with each one of us even when we are alone because He dwells in us. But this verse was originally intended for the context of discipline, whereas, when two or more are gathered, it is talking about witnesses. But even the mis-interpreted meaning of this verse is true. God is, in fact, with us when we gather. He is in each of us but when we gather, He is with all of us. As a matter of fact, In the opening chapter of his narrative, Matthew tells of a messiah who will be called “Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” and also be called “Immanuel, which means God with us.” The entire gospel narrative comes to a close with Jesus-Immanuel standing in the presence of his disciples and saying to them “I am with you always.”
