“Even if I try to make the “lake of fire” (Rev. 20:15) or the “fiery furnace” (Matt. 13:42) a symbol, I am confronted with the terrifying thought that symbols are not overstatements but understatements of reality. Jesus did not choose these pictures to tell us that hell is easier than burning.”
John Piper, Brothers We Are Not Professionals, 114.
That’s good stuff. I miss you, Travis. We need a phone call soon. Maybe next week?
