MISSING HELL

Luke 16:23-27
23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 "And he cried out and said, ' Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' 25 "But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 26'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' NASU**How horrible it will be to miss heaven. I know that the flames will be real and hot and I still think that the horror of hell will not be that people will burn for all eternity but that they will miss being with Jesus for all eternity. If you notice Abraham talks about a great chasm fixed between heaven and hell so no one can cross over BUT notice that you can look across and see heaven from hell! You will be able to see what you missed for all eternity. You may say “how horrible that God would do this.” I tell you the truth, God never intended for man to go to hell. This place was reserved for the devil and his angels that rebelled against God and was thrown out of heaven. If you are reading this, there is hope for you. You don’t have to go to this place called hell separated from a loving God who gave His life for you through Jesus Christ so you would not have to go to a Godless eternity in flames. Confess your sins right now and ask Jesus to come and live in your life and believe that Jesus is Lord. For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE his only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for you. That whosoever believes in Him would not perish in hell for all eternity but have everlasting life with Jesus Christ and spend the rest of eternity dwelling in heaven.
