I think it has to be right. Hell is contained within the heart of God like a virus vault in a computer. Where else can it be? So when Jesus drew all things to himself on the cross, this is where any ultimately indestructible evil remained. <br />This makes me glad not to be God, but then catches me up short. For we are in his image, and this willingness to suck up evil and contain it safely away from damage seems to be something that a heart renewed, recreated in him, has to discover how to do in unconditional love. This makes sense of how we really can 'love our enemies.'roghaydonmitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093060739705328083noreply@blogger.com
