Meeting Place

There is a street in Charleston, S.C. called Meeting Street.

I suppose there are "Meeting Streets" in many states, dotting across our land. The name was derived, I suppose, from the very words which entitle it. That particular place was somewhere people gathered to meet.

In 33 A.D,, in Jerusalem Jesus met some people in the most unusual and unexpected places. He met one man in a tree, others at dinner tables, in fishing boats and beds of sickness. He met a woman right out of a bed of prostitution, and he met thousands at a fish- and -bread picnic. He met his closest companions on earth at a beach side breakfast feast, and met a huge gathering of folks on a Judiean hillside coliseum.

The reason His "meeting places" were in such unusual settings was that Jesus met folks where the were. He called them to follow Him, and many did so.

Have you had a meeting with Jesus? If not, you may not be listening carefully, for He calls all of humanity to meet with Him and then follow Him. Your location or position in life is immaterial - He will meet you wherever you are- as he exemplified in the Bible.
