Christ is All!: Jesus Suffered The Hell Of Hells!

Here, then, on the cross, is all that makes hell into hell: darkness, pain, isolation, sin-bearing, divine judgment, curse, alienation, utter darkness, separation from God. If we need to be convinced of the reality of hell, all we need to do is to consider the cross. It is all there. Sinclair Ferguson

No one spoke about hell more than Jesus . . . because he, more than anyone, saw the true frightfulness of it . . . Jesus endured hell in the place of all those who wind up in heaven. Dane Ortlund

If you mess with the cross, you mess with hell. And if you mess with hell, you mess with the cross. God doesn't like it if you mess with His cross or His hell.

Unrepentant sinners will suffer Jesus' cross (God's infinite wrath) in hell, so our hell cannot be annihilation because it's the infinite wrath of God. Jesus suffered our hell (God's infinite wrath) on that cross, so our hell cannot be annihilation, because it's the infinite wrath of God. One reason to totally reject annihilationism is that unrepentant sinners will suffer Jesus' cross in hell and Jesus suffered our hell on that cross, and these sufferings are not annihilation but the infinite wrath of God!

If you want to rightly understand the cross, look at what sinners suffer in hell. And if you want to rightly understand hell, look at what Jesus suffered on that cross. There, Jesus suffered the hell of hells!

Unrepentant Sinners Will Suffer Jesus' Cross In Hell

Apart from the life, death, burial, and resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ and placing our faith in Him alone by grace alone through faith alone, we would suffer in hell what Jesus suffered on the cross. This is what we would suffer in hell forever:

We would be stricken by God for all eternity!

We would be smitten by God for all eternity!

We would be pierced through with the sword of God's wrath for all eternity!

We would be crushed by God for all eternity!

We would be cursed by God and made a curse by God for all eternity!

We would be the propitiation of God's anger forever, bearing and satisfying the anger and fury of God for all eternity!

We would drink the cup of God's infinite anger down to the dregs for all eternity!

We would be forsaken by God for all eternity!

We would be cut off by God for all eternity!

We would be cast out of the covenantal, loving, gracious, and merciful presence of God for all eternity!

God would be angry with us for all eternity!

God would turn His face away from us for all eternity!

We would be damned by God for all eternity!

We would not be spared any of God's infinite fire and fury for all of eternity!

And there would never be any hope or any relief or any life forever!

But Jesus Suffered Our Hell On That Cross!

Jesus, Who knew no sin, was made sin on that cross, and God His Father punished Him with all the hell that we deserve because of our sins! Jesus suffered our hell on that cross. Jesus suffered this on the cross for us and for the glory of God:

Jesus was cast into outer darkness where there was much weeping and crying in pain!

Jesus had both His body and His soul destroyed by the fires of God’s holy wrath!

Jesus was cast into the fiery furnace of God’s anger!

Jesus was forsaken and separated from His Father!

Jesus endured much anguish and torment and was shown no mercy!

Jesus endured the unquenchable fire where the worm does not die and the flames are never extinguished!

Jesus perished and died and lost His life!

Jesus was condemned!

Jesus endured more than eternal punishment for all those who would ever turn and trust in Him!

Jesus had God’s vengeance inflicted on Him!

Jesus suffered the punishment of eternal fire!

Jesus died the second death!

Jesus was thrown into the blazing furnace!

Jesus was cut into pieces!

Jesus was cursed and cast into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels!

Jesus was locked in the chains of darkness and judged by Almighty God!

Jesus suffered the punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might!

Jesus faced more than eternal conscious torment because He fully and finally satisfied God’s justice while He was on that cross!

The wrath of God remained on Jesus!

Jesus was thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur forever and ever!

The smoke of Jesus’ torment went up longer than forever and ever, and He had no rest day or night!

And He did all of that for hell deserving sinners - like you and like me - so that we might never, ever face such a horrific judgment!

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

And God raised Him up from the dead! And Jesus ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty with all power and with all authority in heaven and on earth! He rules and reigns for us now! He intercedes for us now! And He shall come again to judge the living and the dead!

Christ Jesus Is The King Of Hell

He’ll Punish All Who There Shall Dwell

Where Unimaginable Sufferings Swell

In Darkest Fires Will Sinners Yell

And Scream In Pain Unparallel

It Never Ends, All Hopes Expel

Eternal Conscious Torments Tell

The Justice Of The Holy Well

Oh Please! Oh Please! I Must Compel

Please Turn From Sin And Don’t Rebel

But Trust In Christ Who Took Our Hell

For On That Cross He’d Scream And Yell
