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. ***this was a dream that I remember***

In His question, "Where did you think I would be", I realized that Jesus was asking: Where do you think the Church who is my true representation should be? I realized we are not called to stay inside walls with stained glass windows but to be out in the streets( or anywhere for that matter) as the hands and feet and voice of a Loving God who was seen in the life of our Lord Jesus.
