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."
When you read this, say a prayer.
Thank Jesus For Taking Your Place
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.
God
Bless America
