Eternity
| There is only one of two places in
eternity that we can go: heaven or hell. Each one of us will be
placed in one of these two places on judgment day to be there
forever and ever. Our Lord in speaking of eternity in Matthew 25:46
says, "And these will go away into everlasting
punishment, but the righteous into eternal life". Notice that
the duration of the lost in Hell is exactly the same as the duration
of the saved in Heaven, "forever and ever". It is hard for us as
mortals to grasp how long eternity will be, but after we have been
there a billion years, eternity will have just begun. Heaven Now let us turn our attention to something more pleasant, heaven. Our Lord says in John 14:2-3, "In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there you may be also". Heaven will be a very wonderful place. For the few who go there it will be beyond their wildest dreams and they will be totally surprised and amazed. There is no way that the glories of Heaven can be adequately described to us mortal beings. The only way will be to see it. Hell We do not like to think about eternal punishment. For a few moments let us consider what the Lord says about eternal punishment and then we will turn our attention to a more pleasant thought, heaven. Our Lord in describing how horrible that hell will be for the many who will end up going there, says in Matthew 13:42, "And will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth". This definitely will be a horrible and terrible place beyond description. Jesus says in Mark 9:45-46 concerning those who are lost, that they will be "cast into hell, into the fire that shall never shall be quenched: where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched". There will be no reprieve or appeal to a higher court, because we are being judged by the highest. The Lord is trying to get our attention and to give us fair warning. He is pleading with us not to go there, but we make the choice. The choice is ours. We will bear the responsibility and the consequences.
