                       ::Inspirational Story::
                                 ::The Trial::


After living a "decent" life, my 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 
house. The doors opened and I was instructed 
to 
come in and have a seat by the defense table. As 
I looked around 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 very 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 and 
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 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 walking, I was able to see 
him now 
in his full splendor and majesty. Now 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 
sins 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 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 
and 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 on 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."

In this world of terrible hurt, pain, suffering, 
and extreme self-centered 
focus to the exclusion of 
everyone else, there are times when logic, 
thought, 
discussion, etc, do nothing. It is 
in these times that I have learned that 
I have 
only one place to turn to ease the pain.

        Have you accepted Jesus as your savior?

My boss was complaining in our staff meeting the 
other day that he wasn't 
getting any respect. 
Later that morning he went to a local sign shop 
and 
bought a small sign that read, "I'm the Boss". 
He then taped it to his 
office door. 

Later that day when he returned from lunch, 
he found that 
someone had taped a note to the
sign that said. "Your wife called, she wants 
her sign back!"

4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, 
brethren, concerning them 
which are asleep, that 
ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.  

4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose 
again, even so them also 
which sleep in Jesus 
will God bring with him.  
4:15 For this we say unto 
you by the word of 
the Lord, that we which are alive and remain 
unto the 
coming of the Lord shall not prevent 
them which are asleep.  
4:16 For 
the Lord himself shall descend from 
heaven with a shout, with the voice 
of the 
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the 
dead in Christ shall 
rise first:  
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall 
be caught up 
together with them in the clouds, 
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall 
we 
ever be with the Lord. 
                  -1 Thessalonians 4:13-4:18

                              ::Jesus Christ::
  Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal 
  savior?  Do feel like something 

is missing
  in your life?  Do you feel like there is 
  no point to life, you have 

nothing to live
  for?  Are you worried about your future?
  You don't have to read horoscopes, or call
  a psychic hotline to be comforted of your 
  future.  Instead, GOD loves 

you.  And He 
  wants only the best for you.  He knows 
  you inside and 

out, even if you don't know
  Him.  He loves you unconditionally, no strings
  are attached to His love.  He loves you so
  much that He died for you.  He did it so 
  that you and I could spend 

all eternity
  with Him. Do you have Him as your savior?
  He didn't say that we would have all the 
  luxuries of this world, He 

did say that He 
  would provide for us, if only we seek Him.
  Do you have this wonderful gift called 
  Salvation?  If you don't, it's 

easy to get,
  just ask Him you want it.  Commit your life 
  to Him, and He will greatly 

reward you.
      Will you pray?
"Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I need forgiveness. 
    I am sorry 

for my sins and I don't want to sin against You 
  anymore. I believe You 

are the Son of God and You died on 
the cross for MY sins. I also believe 

that you rose from the dead 
so that I, too, may have victory over the grave. 

Please forgive me 
now Lord and cleanse me. Come into my heart and give 

me a new 
life. Thank You, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and for 
                         
hearing
                   and answering my prayer. Amen" 

  If you've just prayed 

that, you are a Child
  of GOD.  Think about that!  A child of the
  Creator of the Universe.  It's a humbling
  experience.  If you have anything you 
  want to know about your new life 

with Christ,
  or if you're still not sure about all this,
  please do not hesitate to email me,
