MY ATTORNEY

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

 The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what
Ithought to be a court house.

 The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by thedefense
table

 As I looked around I saw the "prosecutor."He was a villainous looking gent
whosnarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have
everseen.

 I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, kind and
gentlelooking 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
Icouldn'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
whythis man belongs in hell."

 He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the
pastwhen I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible Perversions that were
oncein 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,
asthe 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 wasequally
upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form ofdefense 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 guiltyof
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
thebench.The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and
beckonedHim to come forward.

 As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full
splendorand majesty.

 I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my
Lordand my Savior.

 He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, "Hi, Dad," and then
Heturned to address the court.

 "Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won't deny any
ofthese allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves
tobe punished."

 Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms
andproclaimed, "However, I died on the cross so that this person might
haveeternal 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 onecan
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
followingwords 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
giveup, I will win the next one."

 I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, "Have you
everlost a case?"

 Christ lovingly smiled and said, "Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me
torepresent them has received the same verdict as you,

                               ~Paid In Full~
