…Hell …“Where The Maggots

Never Die

And The Fire Never Goes Out.”

Scripture

Mark 9

47 And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 ‘where the maggots never die and the fire never goes out.’

Observation

I don’t remember reading about “worms” or even worse yet “maggots” that never die that are eating on those in Hell!

43 If your hand makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and have eternal life than to have two hands and go to hell. There the fire never stops. 44  45 If your foot makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body and have eternal life than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 46  47 If your eye makes you sin, take it out. It is better for you to have only one eye and enter God’s kingdom than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell.
 
48 The worms that eat the people in hell never die. The fire there is never stopped. (Easy To Read Version)

I imagined people being tormented in Hell by the fire that continued to burn them and yet they couldn’t die. But I never thought about worms or maggots eating on them and the worms and their victims never dying either.

The thought of being alive and having maggots all over me for eternity while I am being continually burned by an everlasting flame doesn’t seem like the best use of my time … how about you?

Jesus makes a very good argument for choosing Heaven over Hell. Hell is just as real as Heaven.

If you were to die today where would you spend eternity – Heaven or Hell?

Application

I will share the Good News every chance I get that God doesn’t want anyone to perish but He wants everyone to turn away from sin and turn to Him.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for the person that may be reading this blog who has not placed his or her faith in trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation. I pray that You would open up their hearts today so they can be saved. I pray for people to be saved this Sunday as Pastor Bruce preaches Your word.
