You Took My Place

tramsey Loc: Texas
 
One day a man went to visit a church.
He got there early and parked his car and got out.
Another car pulled up near him.
The driver got out and said, "I always park there."
"Your took my place."
The visitor went inside for Sunday School. He found
and empty seat and sat down.
A young lady from the church approached him and said,
"This is 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 said nothing.
Later, as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell
among them, the visitor stood up and his appearance started to change, horrible scars became visible on his
hands and on his sandaled feet.
Someone from the congregation noticed what was happening to the visitor and called out, "What happened to you?"
As his hat became a crown of thorns, and tears fell from his eyes, the visitor replied,

"I took your place."

Enjoyed that - thanks for posting. Reminds me of the following story.

Two scientists who have been working together secretly for a number of years one day decide to go to the local church.
Being mid week it's fairly quite so they stand at the altar and sing out for God to speak to them.
Soon there is a big booming voice "Yes my sons what can I do for you?"
The sceintists go into great detail about the fact that they have learned how to create man and so don't need God any more. God asks them to explain and they say we can creat man from just plain dirt. God says ok show me. One of the scientists bends down to get some dirt. God says "Oh no start with your own dirt"

nice one Tramsey,i like that.

reminds me when a tramp was out side the local church, crying
and this big booming voice of god said why are you crying,
the tramp said they won't let me into the church,and God said never mind Son I have been trying to get into that church for years myself.
