I hope noone is offended by this...I got it today and it touched my
heart. Just wanted to share it....hope you feel the same...

The Attorney (This Is So Beautiful)
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 courthouse. The doors opened and I was
instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.
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 I told,
things I stole, and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of
other horrible perversions once in my life and the more he spoke, the
further down in my seat I sank I was so embarrassed, I couldn't look at
anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins even I
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 was guilty of
those things, but I did 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 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," then He
turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying this man
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 this person might have
eternal life and he 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 was already paid in full. Case dismissed"
As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, "I won't
give up, I will 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 comes
to Me and asked Me to represent them, received the same verdict as you,
"PAID IN FULL."

There is no offense taken on my part.
Jesus Christ is my lord and savior and I am here
but by God's grace. I am Christian but I'm not
one of those "holier than thou", bible thumping
Christians that put other people down and judge them.
I am just a normal guy who was blessed to know Jesus.
Thank you for what you wrote.
