The truth of hell is horrible, and for this very reason we are wise to give time to serious meditation on the reality of the eternal punishment that those who reject Jesus Christ will experience. In Jonathan Edwards' sermon on Matthew 25:46 he exhorts us:First, be entreated to consider attentively how great and awful a thing eternity is. Although you cannot comprehend it the more by considering, yet you may be made more sensible that it is not a thing to be disregarded. Do but consider what it is to suffer extreme torment forever and ever: to suffer it day and night from one year to another, from one age to another, and from one thousand ages to another (and so adding age to age, and thousands to thousands), in pain, in wailing and lamenting, groaning and shrieking, and gnashing your teeth - with your souls full of dreadful grief and amazement, with your bodies and every member full of racking torture; (continued).the entire message here: http://www.jonathan-edwards.org/Eternity.html
