Where Did You Think I Would Be ?
*** A dream that I remember......****
I remember opening this great set of wooden doors which led out onto a city street. Everything was as it should
be except that there were no people; not a single person anywhere. This was perplexing to me, but did not
distract me from my goal as I was in quest of a certain person. I remember the urgency in wanting to find him. It
was as if finding him would answer a number of questions for me. I ran out across the street and up a number of
steps to this great cathedral. Swinging open the doors, frustration mounted as I looked inside the great
sanctuary. No one was here, he was not here. I ran down a number of other streets and still no one. Not one
voice until
finally I rounded the corner of a tall building and heard the sound of a crowd in the distance. I emphasize the
word crowd for it was as if every one in the whole city was there, gathered in this one place. Almost exhausted, I
began the endless task of parting through this sea of people for I had to know why they were gathered there.
Finally,
reaching the front, I saw a lone figure laying on his back on the ground before me some ten feet distant.
Between
this person and the crowd was a man kneeling with his back some what facing us. Never rising, he slowly turned
and looked questionably into my face. It was Him, it was Jesus laying hands on and healing this person. While
never saying a word, His look asked:”Where did you think I would be ? It was as if Love was looking right
through me for I never forgot that feeling nor this encounter. My quest was over, my questions answered.
