After living a "decent" life, my time on earth came to end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a
bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a courthouse. 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 stolen, 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 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.
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
talking, 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, 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 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
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 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!!!
