YOU TOOK MY PARKING SPACE AT CHURCH

This

should wake us up.


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 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 receive this, say a

prayer. That's all you have to do. There is

nothing attached. Maybe, just maybe, we can get the

world to start thinking of who took our place.
