EACH OF US IS GOING TO COURT
I had a dream that I died and was standing trial before God in heaven. Satan recited the many sins I committed throughout my life, and my heart broke as I realized how many people I had harmed.
I pleaded guilty, knowing my fate was sealed if justice was to prevail. Just before sentencing, Jesus advanced and told the judge that He paid the price for my sins with his death on the cross. My heart leaped at the reprieve for my many sins.
God then announced all charges were dropped, and welcomed me into the Kingdom of Heaven. I experienced a joy beyond my ability to describe.
THIS is going to happen to you and to me. Each of us has a future date when we will stand before the God in Heaven, where ultimate justice is dispensed.
Satan will describe all the sins we have committed in our life, and we will be asked to respond. Finally, God the Father will ask if there is anyone who will speak on our behalf. Only Christ is qualified, and then only for those of us who received Him as Savior BEFORE WE DIED.
So let us reach out to those who come across our path with the love and truth of Christ, for life is short, eternity is a very long time, and we are not guaranteed tomorrow.
