I Love My Attorney

Thanks to a listener who sent me this.

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.'

'Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead, tell the
storm

how big your God is!'
