My Attorney
Subject: Fw: My Attorney (This is so Beautiful!)
After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on
earth came to the end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in
the waiting room of what I thought to be a courthouse. The doors opened and
I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.
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 man belongs in hell." He proceeded to tell of lies
I told, things I stole, and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of
other horrible perversions once in my life and the more he spoke, the
further down in my seat I sank. I was so embarrassed, I couldn't look at
anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins even I 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 was guilty of those things,
but I did 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 man belongs in
hell, he is guilty of all I have charged and there is not a person who can
prove otherwise."
When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might
approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of
Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward. As He got up and started w alking, 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, "Hello
Father," then He turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying
this man sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage
of sin is death, and this man 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 this
person might have eternal life and he accepted Me as his Savior, so he is
Mine." My Lord continued with, "His name is written in the Book of Life and
no one can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man
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 man is free
The penalty for him was already 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 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 comes to Me and asked Me to represent them, received the same
verdict as you, "PAID IN FULL."
GOD'S GRACE IS SUFFICIENT....ALWAYS !!
