Now, Jesus talked more about hell than anyone else in the Bible. But he didn't try to scare people into the kingdom. Rather he reached out to them with love and compassion. We know wrong will be punished. But it blows my mind to realize that the God who knows all about us, loves us in spite of our sins, and sent Jesus to bear the punishment of our sins for us.
People already feel guilty for their sins.
Our message is that Jesus came to forgive us, to lift our guilt, to live in our hearts and give us a fresh start. Now don't take so long trying to choose the right brand that you don't get around to tasting what's inside the package.
