Jesus says, come to me, trust me, follow me. I endured I endured hell so you could enjoy my father's heaven. Jesus says hell is real, so we dare not dismiss it. We see at the cross that hell is horrific, so we dare not downplay it. God's word teaches that hell is eternal, so we dare not delay. Instead, run to Jesus, rest in Jesus, and rejoice in Jesus because the one who warns us about hell is the only one who can save us from it. [00:52:55] (58 seconds)  #RunToJesus Download clip

God says to men and women who die continuing to reject him, In a sense, well then, continue to reject me forever. Paraphrasing CS Lewis, either people will say to God, your will be done, or God will say to them, your will be done. when we hear and grapple with these distressing truths, we are meant to shudder. We are meant to tremble, to shrink, to feel dread. We are meant to recoil from the reality, not by denying it but by fleeing from it into the arms of Jesus who died to save us from it.

Jesus experienced the full measure of divine judgment against sin: condemned, cursed, darkness, dereliction, forsakenness. Supernatural darkness from noon till 3PM, Jesus, his agonized cry of dereliction of God forsakenness, the temple curtain torn in two from top to bottom, signs of divine judgment, and divine removal of the barrier between sinners and a holy God. Truly, Jesus endured hell on the cross for us. For us. [00:43:33] (56 seconds)  #ChristEnduredHell Download clip

Gathered on the savior's right, the wheat, the good fish, the sheep, and these are included in the king's community. And over there on the Savior's left, the weeds, the bad fish, the goats, along with a blazing furnace of eternal punishment prepared for the devil and his angels. And what Jesus says here, he sends people to their respective places based on how they've responded to the message of his grace and how that grace has shown itself at work in their lives.
