You Took My Parking Space At Church

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!”

Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering

may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast

spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus

who healed those who trusted and believed. Amen.
