But the only taste that brings a cooling, a refreshing, a comfort to us is the gospel of Jesus Christ. You see your tongue is responsible for taste, at and the end of the day we spend our entire lifetime with a taste for sin. You may not value the Lord Jesus Christ now, but in hell you’ll wish for just a drop of water on your tongue. His word carries so much power and authority because he is GOD. God’s word is the best, so far the best that God swears by his own word because there is nothing greater or more sure word. God said to Abraham… I AM thy exceeding great reward. It’s not that God is egotistical, just he himself is the best he has to give us. You separate from God, and you’re separating from all that is truth. You separate from God, and you’re separating from all that is love. You separate from God, and you’re separating from all that is good. You wake up in hell and you’ll long for that you took for granted so bad. Jesus Christ is such good news for humanity, a humanity who’s history is a tale of disaster, pain, suffering, failure, heartbreak, harm, tears. It is forgiveness of sins, it is eternal life, it is a life set free from sin, from our flesh, from hell. The gospel is not just good news, it is great news. You see, it is only in hell when people will finally have some value for the things of God. They wished for water… God’s word and the Holy Spirit is pictured by water in the Bible. And the thought here is something that everyone in hell shares. It’s not worth it people.īut the thought today is… a drop of water to cool my tongue. Would you rather be a nobody but right with God? Or be famous, be rich, have it all, do it all, yet be possessed by Satan in your sin? Satan offered Jesus Christ fame, fortune, glory… but in exchange for something. You look today, just look at famous sportsmen, their lives marked by adultery yet they’re justified on their sporting talent and achievements. What was more important? Making a few bucks here, but he neglected his soul. He fared sumptously, he lived for himself, he was rich… but spiritually he was bankrupt. We can take so many things for granted our whole life. How had things fallen so far? We can be so blessed, we can have such a godly heritage, we can know about God, we can know truth… yet end up in hell. Abraham was his father! His great great (and so on!) grandfather was Abraham. The rich man awoke in hell… and all he wanted was that Abraham would dip the tip of his finger in water and cool his tongue. Hello readers, just a quick thought today. Luke 16:24 – And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame. Luke 16:23 – And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
