SC - What would you do?

[Decker, Terry D.]

It's a 19th Century pun from the heyday of camp meetings and revivals.
Since the goal of those was to help "sinners" "see the Light" and "come to
Jesus," the "Come to Jesus" meeting usually meant a head to head
confrontation where problems between one or more parties would be settled,
one way or another, the idea being that the "errant sinners" would "see the
light (of reason)." 

Recently, the phrase "Come to Jesus meeting" has been used by Don Johnson in
Nash Bridges and as a headline for a piece on an organizational meeting of
the Republican Party to settle internal disputes.
