Have you ever watched any of the legal or law firm advertisements on television?  All of these commercials reach out to the viewer and appeal to the viewer’s cause.  The spokesperson will ask if the viewer has been “wronged or taken advantage of.”  The advertisement is designed to appeal to the feeling of victimization and is created for the viewer to take swift action to pick up the phone to obtain legal representation.

Maybe you are facing troubles today that have you feeling perplexed.  Maybe you need an advocate to plead your case.  I researched the definition of the word advocate and here is what I read:  “one that pleads the cause of another before a judge or court…one that defends or maintains a cause or proposal.”

All of us have a genuine problem and it is sin.  We are all guilty of sin and if it is not legally dealt with, it will leave us hopeless, abandoned and alone.  Perhaps you are at the point where life is not what it used to be. It’s not fun anymore and now the world is not laughing with you, but rather at you.  The Bible talks about the pleasure of sin for a season.  Another words, sin is pleasurable for a certain unspecified time frame.  This time frame could be different for different people.  Some folks are capable of living a lifetime of sin and feel that its effects have not caught up with them.  Others may enjoy little if no pleasure in sin, but make no mistake about it.... sin will result in judgment and ultimately death if left undone.  In Romans 6:23, the Bible says that the “wages of sin is death.”  The penalty for sin is death.  The pleasure will be over and judgment will come.

In review of this, we all have a judgment day coming.  We all will have a time set aside where we will appear before the Judge of All, the Lord.  Scripture is clear that if we do not confess our sin to God (before we die) and trust His Son, Jesus then we will be guilty of the judgment to come.  Truly then, we will be isolated, alone, abandoned, helpless and hopeless as we stand before the Judge.  We went through this life living on our own and making our own rules.  We lived recklessly and never took the time to take some legal advice.  We needed an advocate.  We needed legal representation.  We were warned, but decided to go it alone.

Hebrews 9:24 makes it clear that we don’t have to struggle alone.  It reads, “For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us…”

Jesus actually entered (and is still there today) a heavenly courtroom where we all will stand before the Judge.  Jesus has appeared (and is there now!) before the Lord, our Judge, for us!  Jesus wants to be your advocate, but it is your decision.  He wants to walk beside you in that courtroom and vigorously defend you.  It is very clear that you don’t have to go unrepresented.

I will tell you that His legal fees are very high, but they have already been paid.  His defense will not cost you….it has been paid by the Judge and it is free to you.  Your circumstance is wonderful (if you accept).  The Judge that you will stand before has actually paid for your defense.  Your advocate has never lost a case for which he has defended.  All of Jesus’ clients have won their case and never suffered  eternal isolation or defeat.

Take some good legal advice today and call the Heavenly Law Firm today at 1-800-John 3:16.
