After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on earth came to

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 woman belongs in

>> hell."
>>
>> He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In

>> the past when I cheated others 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 woman belongs in hell, she

>> 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 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 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 woman had sinned, I won't deny

>> any of these allegations.
>>
>> And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this woman 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 she has accepted Me as her Savior,

>> so she is Mine."
>>
>> My Lord continued with, "Her name is written in the Book of Life, and

>> no one can snatch her from Me.
>>
>> Satan still does not understand yet.
>> This woman 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 woman is free."
>>
>> The penalty for her 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 win the next one." I asked Jesus as He gave me
>> m y 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~
>>
>> >>
>> "Stop telling God how big your storm is.
>> Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!"
