SET ME FREE FROM MY GREATEST FEARS: HELL
As bad as aging, dying, and burial are, condemnation in hell is far worse. It is living death. It is dying without ending. It is suffering without relief. It is despair without hope. Its terror is the ultimate terror and lurks behind every other thing on earth that we dread.
Does your imagination need a little help to visualize it? Have you watched any modern horror movies lately?
Better yet, do you remember what the crucifixion of Jesus looked like? "About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice . . . ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'" (Mathew 27:46). As bad as the physical torment must have been--torn flesh, screaming muscles, dehydration, shock, and exhaustion from loss of blood--the spiritual torment was far worse.
On the cross, as his Father turned his back on him in righteous contempt, Jesus experienced the full weight of the world's condemnation. At that moment he was alone, all alone, to bear his misery. That is what hell will be like. And because God's pure and innocent Son endured it for you, you won't have to. You are free.
