THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 86: Paradise and Hell |
|
|
The Bible is clear that there is life after death.
Those who died prior to Jesus’ resurrection were taken to paradise
or hell. There are no dead humans, only dead bodies. This is why
Jesus told the malefactor on the cross that He was going to paradise
after He died. It was an enjoyable place where people waited for the
Messiah to be incarnated and perform His redemptive work. People
were constantly arriving from the physical realm after their bodies
died. One day a voice announced, “The Messiah is here!” A roar
filled paradise and changed into songs of praise as the crowd
realized the dream had finally been fulfilled – the Redeemer was
standing among them and it was none other than the Son of God! Jesus
told the inhabitants of Paradise that they would soon leave for
heaven. Then He crossed over the chasm to hell and announced to its
miserable inhabitants that the redemption was complete, but none of
them would benefit from it. |
