![]() A young believer lay upon her deathbed, suffering severely from a fatal disease. A friend, who had not seen her for some weeks, again visited her. Shocked by her thin, pale, rapidly-deteriorating appearance, she cried out, "Oh, what has happened? You've lost so much weight! And your color..." With this she stopped and began to sob uncontrollably. The sick girl turned to her and calmly said, "Don't cry, Anne." She then recited with beautiful clearness, power, and radiancy, Job 19:26, "And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." This sick girl and her friend had different "ends" in view - one saw the grave, the other saw beyond the grave.

We know that He could not have descended into hell after His death because: include "../doctrineincs/regufont.html"; ?>1. After His death, Jesus' soul immediately returned to God, His Father in heaven. Jesus proclaimed as He died, "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit" (Luke 23:46b). He also testified to the saved thief on the cross, "Today shalt thou be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43b). |
