One day, a man went to visit a church.
He got there early, parked his
car and got out. Another car pulled up near him.
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.
'
When you receive this, say a prayer.
That's all you have to do There is
nothing attached.
This is powerful.
Maybe, just maybe, we can get the world to start thinking of who took
our place. Do not break this, please.
