SOME THINGS YOU WILL NOT FIND IN HELL

                    (Luke 16:19-31)

In chapter 15 we find the parable of the prodigal son, showing the great love and grace of God to those who will come to Him.  But in chapter 16 we have the awakening fact of eternal judgment to those who die in their sin.

(Mark 9)  Jesus spoke of hell and fire 9 times in 6 verses.

In the scripture read we see two men who had one thing in common.  They died.  (Job 21:23-23)

Whether godly or ungodly, rich or poor, we all face death.

(Hebrews 9:27)
