God's gathering center on earth today
Therefore, is there a gathering center for Christians on earth? Yes, the Scriptures teach that there is. Where is it? Your task is to seek it. The answer to the question "Who owns the Lord's table" can only be "The Lord"! The table is His, and He is guiding to it the believers who have this exercise. God wants us to be exercised regarding this subject and to seek to know His will so as to be guided by it, just as Peter and John asked the Lord "Where" that place was in their time (). "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search it out" ().
IN SUMMARY: If the Lord owns a gathering center on earth, then He could only be in one place -- in one ecclesiastical position. If the Lord were in the midst of all Christian groups, sanctioning their positions in a collective sense (), then He would be the Author of the many sad divisions existing in the public testimony of the church. This is something He would not do, for it would deny the truth that there is only one gathering center: the very Person of Christ.
