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 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."

and not to man
