A Life in Words

Listening to Francis Chan this morning and he was speaking about Hell and everyone putting their opinion out there about it... I'm thinking in a response to Rob Bell's video on Hell. Watching this Chan said something that I had NEVER thought about that way before. His premise in the video was we tend to say that I don't believe that God would do that because it doesn't match what we think of him.. of maybe what we would do. The bible says God tells us our thoughts are not his thoughts. His thoughts are above our thoughts. And us understanding what he is doing or why he was doing it maybe sometimes beyond our ability to understand. And then he mentioned the Devil, and the Devil being thrown into the pit of fire to live their eternally is something that probably EVERY christian has heard. But have you ever thought about the pain it caused God to do such a thing. The Devil was his creation... He took the time to create him just as much as he too the time to create me. and he had to throw him into a fiery pit forever. I have never thought of it from that side before. What a hurt it must have been for God... What a tragedy it must have been.
