Our Day In Court

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” – 2 Corinthians 5:10

Brandon Moon was convicted by jury of three counts of aggravated sexual assault. His 1988 conviction arose from an April 1987 incident in El Paso, Texas.
The defense claimed that Moon was misidentified. They also presented evidence that Moon was excluded as a source of all of the hairs recovered. Moon testified that he was on the campus of his college at the time of the crime. Moon’s girlfriend testified that she had phoned him less than an hour before the crime occurred and had met him shortly after 9:15AM. The crime occurred at about 9:00AM. Further, the defense argued that Moon had no car and could not have had the opportunity to commit the rape.
From his initial arrest until today, Moon proclaimed he was innocent.
Moon spent seventeen years in prison.

In December 2004, Brandon Moon was freed from prison after postconviction DNA testing proved his innocence. He was officially exonerated in 2005.

The Lord promises that everyone will appear in His court and stand before Him one day.

Thank the Lord that when you stand before Him your defense is that He paid the price for your sins on the Cross.

“The Christian making God’s statutes his song, is a pilgrim to the judgment; the sinner treading upon the mercy of Jesus, and trampling upon His blood, is hastening to the judgment. ‘We must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ.’” – Richard Fuller

“You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.’” – Romans 14:10-11
