There is a Hell to avoid (The fishing net Matthew 13:47-50)
Throughout history there has been legendary locations that individuals have sought to find and prove their existence. The city of Atlantis has been sought after for years for the great wealth and keys to knowledge that it was proclaimed to have. The Vikings sought after Valhalla which was an enormous Hall in Asgard where the Norse God Odin reigned supreme. South Americans have long sought to find the lost city of El Dorado as it was known as the lost city of Gold. I mention these mythical cities because I believe that in the minds of many Hell gets lumped into the same category as these cities when they hear it mentioned. It is just a mythical place of folklore and legend that was made up from the imagination of an individual and has found its way into popular culture. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as in Matthew 13:50 Jesus makes perfectly clear that those who are separated out of the Kingdom of God will end up in a place of burning and torment. Hell has become an unpopular topic for the church to address in recent years because it is much easier and much more comfortable for everyone to believe or act as if it does not exist. The truth of the matter is that Hell is real, and many are walking straight into it gates unaware that it will be their eternal place of torture and torment.
As Christians, we be believe the teachings of Jesus Christ is the very foundation of our faith, and it should be noted that Jesus taught more on the topic of Hell than He did Heaven. He taught us that Hell was a place of judgment (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, 47-50, Matthew 22:1-14, Matthew 25:14-46), that Hell was eternal (Matthew 25:41,46), and that Hell was worse than we could imagine (Matthew 8:12;22, Matthew 22:13, Matthew 25:30, Luke 13:28). You cannot believe in Heaven and Jesus is Lord and ignore the reality of Hell because it was a focal point of Jesus’s earthly teachings. It is so real that he wanted to make sure everyone knew of its reality and had a way to avoid it completely. This is why Jesus came to give hope and provide a way of escape from the eternal punishment of Hell that we all deserve for our rebellion. The word Hell is used so loosely in our culture today that it no longer strikes fear in the hearer’s heart, it had reach mythical location status in the hearts of our culture. Do not be fooled by the deceptions and lies of Satan, Hell was created for Satan and his fallen angels, all He is trying to do it take as many people with him as he possible can. Hell is real and Jesus is the only way to escape it.
