OUR
ADVOCATE |
| |
We have an Advocate, a
pleader to plead for us and intercede for us, ever
living as a Great High Priest. What a great privilege
and fortune it is.
He has written off all verdict against us.. the wages of
sin.. .He paid.
Put on the garment of righteousness on us...standing
before... Just God ... As we have never sinned......No
accuser can blame us thereafter.
We are eternally indebted to Him for His mercy on us.
Not by our MERITS but BY HIS GRACE and MERCY...We are
Saved
We are saints, (a sinner saved by Grace)
JESUS PAID IN FULL
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 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 woman. After living what I
felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the
end. 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 old 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 woman belongs
in hell, she 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 s the court.
Satan was correct in saying that this woman had sinned,
I won't deny any of these allegations.
And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this woman
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 she has accepted Me as her Savior, so she is Mine.'
My Lord continued with, 'Her name is written in the Book
of Life,.................... and no one can snatch her
from Me.
Satan still does not understand yet. This woman 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 woman is free.'
'The penalty for her 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 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 has come
to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the
same verdict as you, .(Selected)
