Something to remember!

I Love My Attorney



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 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 opened 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 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 man belongs in hell, he 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 man had 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 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 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 has already been paid in full. Case dismissed.'

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.'


Just think. An attorney who is NOT out only to get your money. He just wants YOU!
