| What we so oft see |
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 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."
