A Tribute Of Honor To Don

After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, 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 of Judgment.

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.'

Though of marvelous stature and eloquent clothed he was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil figure I have ever seen.

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, kind and gentle looking, clean bearded gentlmen whose appearance seemed warm and friendly, yet so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing Golden robes.

He commanded an awesome presence of peace and tranquility as He moved across the room I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.

As He took placement behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'

The prosecutor rose and said,

'My name is Satan and I am here to show Honorable Creator 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 chair 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 bringing to light all these transgressions and evil I had done, I became aware I became equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently Offering no forum of defense, Nada a Word.

I know I had been guilty of those things, but had I not done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out some or part of the harm I'd done?

Satan finished with a fury of fire & brimstone and said, 'This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a spirit nor 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 and loud rantings 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 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, therefore & wherefore 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 fails not understand, even now. 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.'

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, 'I won't give up, I won’t give up, I will win, I will win the next one.' I asked Jesus as He gave me 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!”
