Let us consider Proverbs 27 v 20 ,'Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied'. The first part,'Hell and destruction are never full', are very challenging words,for it is not just about dying,but what awaits those who do not know Christ , we will all die and there will be no end .of it until Christ returns. But what should concern every human being on planet earth is,what will await then when they die?,if one does not know Christ,'Hell and destruction', awaits them, CP , Psalm 9 v17 'The wicked shall be turned into hell,and all the nations that forget God'. It is Charles Bridges who writes ,'To great devourers- hell and destruction- never full'.But the good news is this for those who trust Jesus, that awful fate, does not await them,consider the Christ event and the wonderful hope it brings to all mankind,'For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life'. ( John 3 v16)
'How silently,how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear Him coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in.' (Words P. Brooks)
