"Not
One Of Them Is Forgotten"
"I tell you, my friends, do not fear
those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will warn
you whom to fear: fear him who, after he was killed, has authority to cast into
hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?
Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight. But even the hairs of your
head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of
more value than many sparrows."
Luke 12:4-7
One of the most disturbing assertions in
the Bible is that men and women who reject Jesus will spend eternity separated
from God. Even more unsettling, virtually everything we know about hell comes
from the lips of Jesus. Yet when Jesus spoke of hell, He did so with the accent
on love.
Difficult truth
should be wrapped
in the language of
love.
