GOD'S DOCKET IN COURT
I have never been to court. I have watched people been tried in court. I have heard people tell their experiences in the law courts. Some are distasteful stories which can never be written any better. One popular court trial that caught the attention of the whole world was that of the Iraqi, Mr Saddam Husein on 5th November, 2006, for his alleged crimes against humanity while serving as president of the Islamic state.Amazingly, God also has a docket in court awaiting trial. The charges being leveled against God are huge. Satan started these charges in the courts of heaven when he told the angels how God has taken away their freedom. He came down to this earth and told our first parents how God has decided to hide from them some goodies of life -the forbidden tree (
The cross offers a strong defendant against all the mischiefs and blatant lies against God. When Jesus cried "It is finished" (
"The battle had been won. His right hand and His holy arm had gotten Him the victory. As a Conqueror He planted His banner on the eternal heights. Was there not joy among the angels? All heaven triumphed in the Saviour's victory. Satan was defeated, and knew that his kingdom was lost." {DA 758.1}He is still not done, God's still in the docks. He needs us to bail Him. We can only do that when we strive to live a righteous life trusting the full merits of the cross. Will we accept to bail God?
To the angels and the unfallen worlds, the cry, "It is finished," had a deep significance. It was for them as well as for us that the great work of redemption had been accomplished. They with us share the fruits of Christ's victory. {DA 758.2}
