end.*
*
The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting
room of what I thought to be a court house.
The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the
defense table.
As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor. '
He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. *
*
He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.*
*
I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney,
a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed *
*so familiar to me,*
* I felt I knew Him.*
*
The corner door *
*flew open *
*and there appeared the Judge in full
flowing robes.*
*He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room, I couldn't
take my eyes off of Him...*
*
As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'*
*
The prosecutor rose and said,
'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this person
belongs to hell..'*
*
He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and in the
past when I cheated others, immorality, malice, bribery, corruption, pride
and anger, Satan told of other horrible
Perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the
further down in my seat I sank. *
*
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney,
as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely
forgotten about.*
*As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was
equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form of
defense at all.*
*I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my
life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?*
*Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This person belongs in hell,
is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person
who can prove otherwise.'*
*When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He could approach the
bench.*
*The Sitting Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan,
and beckoned Him to come forward.*
*
As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in
His full splendor and majesty..*
*
I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, *
*my Lord and my Savior.*
*
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'Hi,
Dad,' and then He turned to address the court.*
*
'Satan was correct in saying that this person has sinned, I won't deny any
of these allegations.*
*
And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this person deserves to be
punished.*
*
Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with
outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so
that this person might have eternal life and *
* has accepted Me as Savior, so this person is Mine.' *
*
My Lord continued with, 'This person's name is written in the Book of Life,
and no one can snatch this one from Me.*
*
Satan still does not understand yet. This person is not to be given justice,
but rather mercy.'*
*
As Jesus sat down,
He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, 'There is nothing else
that needs to be done.'
'I've done it all.'
The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down.
The following words bellowed from His lips..
'This person is free.'
'The penalty has already been paid in full.'
'Case dismissed.'
As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving,
'I won't give up, I will appeal, I will win the next one.'*
* I asked Jesus *
*as He gave me *
*my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'
Christ lovingly smiled and said,
'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received
the same verdict as you,
~Paid In Full~'*
*All you need to do, repent of your old ways and surrender your life to God
through Jesus.
If you do not pass this along to 15 people immediately,**
absolutely nothing will happen**.
Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend,
(as I have done here), will bless you both.
'Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!'*
