	"Not guilty."  The verdict is in!  The decision has been ¨made.  The verdict
will stand against any and all evidence which ¨can now be presented by anyone.
No new evidence can be produced ¨which will warrant re-opening the case.

	A man or woman can be as guilty as sin itself, but if the ¨verdict declares
him to be innocent, he is a free person, who can ¨never be accused again of
that same crime.  FREE!

	You and I both know that innocent people have been de¨clared guilty by the
courts of our land, and have been forced to ¨pay a debt to society for crimes
of which they are not guilty.

	That is because the courts of our land are flawed with ¨the frailties of
humanity.

	For the same reason, guilty people have been declared ¨innocent by the flawed
courts.

	But what about the court of Heaven, where Jesus Christ ¨sits as the sole
magistrate?  There is no flaw in the decisions ¨which He makes.

	When a repentant sinner turns to Jesus for mercy-- look ¨what happens!

	Jesus made provision on the Cross for our GUILT to be ¨placed on HIS ACCOUNT,
and His RIGHTEOUSNESS to be placed on OUR ¨ACCOUNT.

	That is exactly what happens when we call on Jesus for ¨His Mercy.  Though we
are guilty as sin itself, when the verdict ¨of Heaven declares us to be
innocent, we are free from all guilt.

	Isn't that wonderful?
