HE PAID IT ALL

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". 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 very 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, and 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 in Hell." He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole in the past, and 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 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 Person belongs in Hell. He is guilty of all that I have charged, and there is not a person who can prove otherwise.

"Justice will finally be served this day."

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 now in His full splendor and majesty. Now 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". Then, He turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying that this Person had sinned; I won't deny any of these allegations. And yes, the wages 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 She has accepted me as Her 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 it 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 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, and the following words bellowed from His lips --

"This Person is free -- the penalty for His sin has already been paid in full. Case Dismissed."

Please feel free to contact me. I'll be glad to answer your questions and help you in any way that I can.

Dont's be deceived by religion.

Religion says "DO", whereas Christianity says "DONE !"

Christ paid the full price for your salvation.
Believe and be saved today."
