| I Took Your Place |
One day, a man went to visit a church. He arrived
early, parked hi car, and got out. Another car
pulled up near him, and the driver told him, "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 church
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 said nothing.
Later, as the congregation was praying for Christ to
dwell among them, the visitor stood, 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, "I took your place." |
