Transcript
- 0:04Don't you worry one bit about the case, Darla.
- 0:07I intend to prove to the court and to just spanky that you're a
- 0:11child of God. Are you sure?
- 0:13You can do it alfalfa. Darla, there's no way he can win
- 0:17this case. I have proof that you are a
- 0:19child of your mom and dad. Therefore, you cannot be a child
- 0:23of God. Listen, Mr. Smarty Pants smiles,
- 0:27the Bible says in John 112. But as many as received him, to
- 0:31them he gave the right to become children of God.
- 0:34What do you have to say about that?
- 0:39Here comes. Just spanking now.
- 0:42This court is now in session for the case of What child is this?
- 0:47I thought of that title. It's a Christmas song.
- 0:51I could sing it if you like. This court will now take a short
- 0:54recess. Your Honor, you can't do that.
- 0:57We haven't even started the case yet.
- 1:00This is my courtroom. Miles I.
- 1:02Can do anything I want. If I say we take a recess, we
- 1:06take a recess. Alfalfa, I'll meet you on the
- 1:09slide. I was going to swing with Darla,
- 1:12Your honor. Suit yourself.
- 1:14Come on, Bailiff, let's go. Slide.
- 1:17Oh, Tay, Prosecutor, present your case.
- 1:24Your Honor, I intend to prove that Darla is not a child of God
- 1:28like she is telling everyone. She is in fact a child of her
- 1:31mother and father. I have here Exhibit AA copy of
- 1:35Darla's birth certificate. According to this, she is 10
- 1:39years old. Shame on you.
- 1:41Miles. A girl never tells.
- 1:43Her age. Alfalfa, do you have anything to
- 1:47say in Darla's defense? Spanky, I would like.
- 1:50Alfalfa, you're supposed to call me Your honor.
- 1:54Oh, I mean, your honor, I would like to enter the Bible as
- 1:57Exhibit B, John 112 says, and I quote.
- 2:02But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become
- 2:06children of God. We'll take a short recess while
- 2:09I look at the evidence and then I'll give you my decision.
- 2:13Sorry, Buckwheat. You'll have to play on the slide
- 2:15without me. OK, While you were out playing
- 2:24on the playground, I was looking at all the evidence.
- 2:27This birth certificate, Miles, does prove that Darla's a child
- 2:31of her mother and father. There's no way to deny that
- 2:35fact. I'm sorry, Darla.
- 2:38It's OK Alfalfa, you did your best.
- 2:41You should have listened to me, Darla.
- 2:44I don't care what you say, Miles.
- 2:46I live in the presence of God because I'm his child.
- 2:50Order in the court. As I was saying, Darla is a
- 2:54child of her father and mother, but in light of the evidence,
- 2:58John 112. But as many as received him, to
- 3:02them he gave the right to become children of God.
- 3:05Darla, have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior?
- 3:09Yes, I have your. Honor then based on John 112,
- 3:13Darla is also a child of God, you.
- 3:16Did it Alfalfa? You're my.
- 3:18Hero. But as many as received him, to
- 3:22them he gave the right to become children of God.
- 3:25John, 112. Now we'll take another recess,
- 3:29this time a long recess. Your honor, you're supposed to
- 3:33close the case so we can go home.
- 3:36I don't want to go home, I want to plan the playground.
- 3:39This. Is the only job that has more
- 3:41recesses than school? Come on Darla, let's go swim.
- 3:46It would be my. Pleasure Alfalfa.
- 3:49Come on, Buckwheat, let's play, OK?
- 3:55Special. Thanks to Anthony Pettis
- 3:57Belapowski. Chandler Jones.
- 4:00Caleb Webb. And Ethan Webb.
- 4:08Let's go red. Where are you taking me,
- 4:11Sheriff? To jail.
- 4:13What fair? You robbed the candy store,
- 4:15remember? You took all the cherry
- 4:18licorice. I caught you red handed.
- 4:21But I'm the righteousness of God, Sheriff.
- 4:24You want to explain that to me, Red?
- 4:26For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might
- 4:31become the righteousness of God in him.
- 4:34Second Corinthians 521. Yeah, thanks be to God for that.
- 4:39Don't you get it, Sheriff? It's OK for me to rob the candy
- 4:43store because Jesus is Jehovah's Sid Canoe.
- 4:46My righteousness. No matter what I do wrong, I'm
- 4:50the righteousness of God. First of all, Red, that verse
- 4:54says, for he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we
- 4:59might become the righteousness of God in him, I emphasize,
- 5:03might become. So let me ask you something Red.
- 5:07Have you ever confessed Jesus as your Savior?
- 5:10What for? That's what I thought.
- 5:13Since you didn't receive Jesus as your savior, you ain't become
- 5:16righteous yet. Now let's go.
- 5:26The great state of Texas goes red handed to the stand please.
- 5:33I'm red handed, your honor. So red handed you're a candy
- 5:39bandit. Well, yes Sir, I reckon I am.
- 5:43So Lynn, do you plead guilty to the charges of being caught red
- 5:49handed with a pound of red licorice?
- 5:53Well Sir, I didn't exactly weigh it.
- 5:56I just grabbed me a handful and took off a running.
- 5:59It was plenty enough to give me a bellyache, that's for sure.
- 6:03So you plead guilty then, do you?
- 6:07Not exactly, your honor. You see, I'm the righteousness
- 6:10of God, for He made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we
- 6:16might become the righteousness of God in him.
- 6:18Second Corinthians 521. And that's supposed to mean that
- 6:23you're innocent. Jesus is Jehovah.
- 6:27Sikka knew my righteousness. No matter what I do wrong, I'm
- 6:31the righteousness of God. For He made him who knew no sin
- 6:40to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God
- 6:46in him. So Mr. Handed, why would a born
- 6:52again Christian rob a candy star?
- 6:56Don't you know that's wrong? Of course I knew it was wrong,
- 7:00that's why I did it. But your Honor, I never said I
- 7:05was born again. But you ain't the righteousness
- 7:08of God, Mr. Hand it. If you do the crime, you do the
- 7:14time. I sent in to you the 30 days in
- 7:18jail in a fine of $200. I'm also going to recommend that
- 7:26you get counseling from a pastor while in jail.
- 7:30This court is adjoined. The judge sent me to talk to
- 7:47you, Mr. Handy. Please call me Red.
- 7:51All right, Red, Is there something on your?
- 7:53Mind. Well, yes Sir, I need to get
- 7:56born again real bad. Well, I can pray with you to
- 8:01receive Jesus as your Savior and make Him the Lord of your life.
- 8:05That means you want Jesus to be the boss of your life.
- 8:09Whoa, whoa, hold on a minute. If Jesus is the boss of my life,
- 8:15that means I got to do things his way, don't it?
- 8:18Yes he does, but now don't get all upset thinking you got to be
- 8:23perfect all the time. We all make mistakes, but that's
- 8:27why Jesus is Jehovah Sid Canoe. Our righteousness.
- 8:33For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us.
- 8:37That we might become the righteousness of God in him.
- 8:41Second Corinthians 521. I see you have an understanding
- 8:46of the Bible. It's more like a
- 8:48misunderstanding. So let me just clarify
- 8:51something. If and I was to make Jesus Lord
- 8:55and I went and robbed a candy store when I have to go to jail
- 8:58for it? Yes, of course, but if you was
- 9:02born again and Jesus was Lord of your life, you wouldn't want to
- 9:06rob a candy store. What about robbing a toy store?
- 9:11Absolutely not. A bank.
- 9:14No. 2nd Corinthians 521 doesn't do me any good then, does it
- 9:20pastor? It would if you would receive
- 9:25Jesus as your Savior. I need to pray for Him.
- 9:29He is 1 mixed up cowboy. All rise for the honorable Judge
- 9:43Jehovah. Mr. Prosecutor, Are you ready to
- 9:47present your case? I am, your honor.
- 9:50Very well, you may proceed. Your Honor, I would like to call
- 9:54Stephen Samuels Sinner to the stand.
- 9:58Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
- 10:00nothing but the truth? I do.
- 10:02You may proceed. Please state your full name for
- 10:05the court. Stephen Samuel Sinner.
- 10:08Mr. Sinner, where were you on the night of May 25th?
- 10:14I was at my friend's house. Joey is his name.
- 10:17Would you? Please tell the court what you
- 10:19were doing. Joey and I were writing the
- 10:21answers down to a test that we had stolen from our teacher's
- 10:24desk. That's correct.
- 10:25That test was in fact the final Test of the year, was it not,
- 10:29Mr. Sinner? Yes, Sir, it was.
- 10:32And what happened the next day at school?
- 10:35Well, when it was time to take the test, we turned in the one
- 10:38we had already done the night before.
- 10:40You received an A on that test, didn't you, Mr. Sinner?
- 10:44And a plus, actually. You do realize that what you did
- 10:48was wrong, do you not? Yes Sir, I knew it was wrong,
- 10:51but I went ahead and did it anyways.
- 10:53Do you know what we call that, Mister Sinner?
- 10:56Sin. Pardon me, what was that you
- 10:58said? I said it was sin.
- 11:01Correct, Mr. Sinner. It is sin, and the wages of sin
- 11:05is death, Mr. Sinner. Please, no.
- 11:08Not death. Anything but death.
- 11:10I don't want to die. Please, Your Honor, I'll do
- 11:13anything. If you can't face the end, you
- 11:16shouldn't have committed the sin.
- 11:19The prosecution rests, Your Honor.
- 11:21Very well, this court finds the accused, Mr. Steven Samuel
- 11:26Sinner, not guilty. What?
- 11:29That's impossible, Your Honor. There must be some mistake.
- 11:35No mistake, Mr. Prosecutor, Jesus paid the penalty for sin
- 11:39for Steven Jesus is his attorney.
- 11:42But. That's not fair.
- 11:45It's all legal. On June 17th of last year, Mr.
- 11:49Sinner asked me to be his Lord and Savior.
- 11:51All charges against Mr. Sinner at that time went on my criminal
- 11:55record. Objection, Your Honor, Jesus has
- 11:59no criminal record. That is correct, and may I
- 12:03remind you that Jesus was falsely accused and convicted
- 12:072000 years ago of crimes he did not commit.
- 12:11I believe you were the one that prosecuted him back then, were
- 12:14you not? Your Honor, who's on trial here?
- 12:18Me or Mr. Sinner? And didn't you have Jesus nailed
- 12:23to a cross to die? Your Honor, I find this line of
- 12:26questioning totally irrelevant to the case at hand.
- 12:29What does my small error 2000 years ago have to do with
- 12:34Stephen Samuel Sinner's sin? By one man's sin all were
- 12:38condemned, but by my righteousness all have been made
- 12:42righteous. Mr. Prosecutor, please refer to
- 12:45the defendant as Mr. Righteous from now.
- 12:47On. Mr. Righteous, Your Honor.
- 12:51And remove those handcuffs. Case dismissed.
- 12:55Mr. Righteous, you're a free man.
- 12:57Jesus paid the penalty of sin for you.
- 12:59Go enjoy the good life Jesus paid for.
