Hell. Matthew 13:36-43

I talked to a kid today about heaven and hell. He said he knew Jesus and had been baptized, but wasn't real sure about the whole hell thing. Said it didn't seem fair to go to hell just for sinning a few times. I explained to him what I think the Bible says about hell and he acknowledged that it's a good source on the subject. Based upone that conversation I think this passage is appropriate.

Hell is a real place and is a real consequence of being separated from God. If this is true, then we need to be telling people about that. They need to know.

Matthew 13:36-43
36Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."

37He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
