Gathered together in Christ.

Herman Witsius has written:

“Moreover, as all the elect are partakers of one and the same grace, they are all likewise called to mutual communion with one another, “that ye also may have fellowship with us,” 1 John i. 3. Believers of the New Testament with those of the Old; the Gentiles with the Jews, being all of the same body, Eph. iii. 6. in Christ, who hath made both one, Eph. ii. 14. Nay, those on earth with those in heaven; “For all things are gathered together in one in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth: even in him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance,” Eph. i. 10, 11. And this is that blessed state to which, by the holy and heavenly calling, we are invited, namely, communion with Christ, and by him with the undivided Trinity, and consequently with all the saints, both militant and triumphant, not even excepting the praising assembly of angels, in order with them to exult in the most delightful fruition of all the blessings of God. For all who obey this call, “are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first-born which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the New covenant,” Heb. xii. 22, 23, 24. What grander things can be spoken, what more noble and divine can be conceived than these?”
