A man visited a church during Lent. He parked his car and started toward the front entrance. Another car pulled up nearby, and the irritated driver said, "I always park there. You took my place!" The visitor went inside and found that Sunday school was about to begin. He found an adult class and sat down. A class member approached and said, "That's my seat! You took my place!"
After Sunday school, the visitor went into the sanctuary and sat down in an empty pew. Within moments another member walked up to him and said, "That's where I always sit. You took my place!" The service then started. The choir was excellent, and the sermon title that morning was, “Jesus Died on the Cross.”
Later, the pastor greeted the man as he was going out the sanctuary. “Pastor,” he said, “I don’t think you needed to preach that sermon.”
“What do you mean?” asked the pastor.
“The congregation knows it backward and forward. Before you even started the service, everyone I met said, ‘You took my place.’” -DJ
