SOME THINGS IN HELL WE NEED
Luke 16:19-31

I.    THE CLEARNESS OF SIGHT....V 23
Pro 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Mar 8:22-26 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.  We need to see:

          A. The Punishment of Hell.-V 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
          B. The Paradise of Heaven....V 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

VI. THE CORRECT WAY OF SALVATION... .V 30-31  It's pathetic how few churches today present a clean cut Gospel message.

THERE MUST BE:
