Yeshua(Jesus) MY
ATTORNEY
After living a "decent" life, my time on earth
came to an 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 lawyer, a kind and
gentle looking man whose appearance seemed familiar to me.
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 that I told, things
that I stole, and in the past when I cheated others.
Satan told 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 lawyer, 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
representative
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've done?
Satan finished with
a fury and said, "This man
belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged
and there is not a person who can
prove otherwise."
He told of other horrible perversions that were once
a part of my life. When it was his turn,
my lawyer 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 Yeshua 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 man had
sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And yes
the wages of sin
is death, and this man deserves to be
punished."
Yeshua 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
he has 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 Yeshua sat down, he quietly paused, looked at
his Father and replied, "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 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'll win the next
one."
I asked Yeshua 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."
