who took your place?

Who took your place?


----- 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."

Very good, thank you! Makes one stop and think doesn't it? Sadly, that's the way of the world anymore, it's the *Me* syndrome and it just keeps getting worse!
