THE AFTERWORD: The Apostle’s Creed - Week 4 - Hell + Judgment


Description:
AFTERWORD DESCRIPTION 

Hey kids!  Let’s talk about hell and judgment! Archie Jackson and David Kim stop by to talk about why they each lost sleep trying to tackle the two most confusing clauses in the Apostle’s Creed - that Jesus “descended into hell” and that He will come back to “judge the living and the dead.” What does that mean? We talk about the difference between the words the Bible uses to describe the afterlife, including sheol, gehenna, hades, paradise and Abraham’s bosom - and how the ideas about the afterlife shift and change a bit from the Old Testament to the New.  We also talk about judgment - and Jesus as judge.   We talk about why this concept makes people uneasy (even scared) - probably because of the caricatures that many of us carry about the idea of God’s judgment (and David Kim shares about how his VBS teachers locked him in a closet and dressed up like demons to get him to accept Jesus). Sheesh. Religious trauma much? And finally, we discuss how Jesus returning as judge is actually a very *good* thing, and a strong source of ultimate hope for Christians.  

Speakers: David Tieche + Archie Jackson + David Kim
