THE VISITOR
Author Unknown
February 21, 2011

One day, a man went to visit a church. He arrived early, parked his
car, and got out. Another car pulled up near him, and the driver told
him, "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 church 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 said nothing.

Later, as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them,
the visitor stood, 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, "I took your place."
