I. THE PLACE. "Where," etc. A meeting place is intended; simple; it may be lonely.

II. THE PRESENCE. A spiritual presence. The world sees Him not. Time was when He granted sensible tokens of His presence to man; burning bush, Jacob; Christ incarnate; now the Comforter is come.

III. THE PURPOSE. He is in the midst for

(1)  inspection, "His eyes are as a flame of fire;"

(2)  for protection;

(3)  direction;

(4)  probation. He is in the midst to try with means and mercies —

(5)  salvation.

(J. Basley.)
