Our Most Heavenly Father,

As we join together this Easter Season
May we all remember the sacrifice made 
for us by our precious Savior, Jesus
Who died for our many many sins.

May we strive to be a bit more tolerant
of our family, friends and neighbors.
Let us pick the rafter from our own eyes
before we try to extract the strw from others.

Reach out our hands to help our fellow man
no matter what his race or religeon.
Always do unto others,
as we would have them do unto us. 
All in Jesus' Name
Amen

PAID IN FULL
(  THIS WAS SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND )
( I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH SHARING )

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 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
   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 wages 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 
    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."
