YOU
TOOK MY PLACE
One
day, a man went to visit a church. He got
there early, parked his
car and got out. Another car pulled up near
and the driver got out and said,
"I
always park there! You took my place!"
The
visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat
down.
A young lady from the church approached him
and stated,
"That's my seat! You took my place!"
The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome,
but said nothing.
After Sunday School, the visitor went into
the sanctuary and sat down.
Another
member walked up to him and said, "That's where I always sit!
You
took my place!" The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment,
But
still He said nothing.
Later
as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them,
The
visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change.
Horrible
scars became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet.
Someone
from the congregation noticed him and called out, "What happened
to you?"
The
visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns,
and
a tear fell from his eye, "I took your place."
