Jesus spoke about hell more than almost any other topic in the Gospels. Not the watered-down version. Not the symbolic metaphor. The hell that Jesus described — the one the apostles wrote about, the one that runs from Genesis to Revelation as a sobering, unavoidable truth. Here is what the Bible actually says.
There is a version of Christianity being preached right now that is essentially a theology of apology — apology for the Old Testament, for exclusivity, for the cross being violent, and most of all for the wrath of God. But the wrath of God is not an embarrassment to be managed. It is a perfection to be understood. And it makes the cross larger than you have ever seen it.
There is a word in Scripture that stands apart from every other word used to describe God. Not "love, love, love." Not "just, just, just." "Holy, holy, holy." This is not one attribute among many — it is the lens through which everything else about God must be understood. Get this right, and the entire Bible comes into focus.
This is a profound and sacred task. To write a complete and biblically sound account of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, we must turn solely to the inspired Word of God. The four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—serve as our divinely authorized witnesses, each providing unique details that together form a harmonious and devastating portrait of the Passion. This blog will walk chronologically through the trials, the scourging, and the crucifixion, relying exclusively on the biblical text to explore the depth of Christ's suffering for the sins of the world.
