Saddest Verse(S) In The Bible

SADDEST VERSES IN THE BIBLE

Many have preached, and many know the shortest verse in the Bible, which is John 11:35. Jesus wept. Some may say, that to them that is the saddest verse in the Bible.

I can ask each of you here what might be your favorite verse or verses and I would get different answers from most everyone here. The same goes if I ask you what you think is the saddest verse in the bible.

This morning I want to bring to you a message from what I believe at least to me, is the Saddest verses in the Bible.

I know there are some sad verses contained in the Word of God, some from deaths, some from sin, some from turning their backs on God.

As I studied this message two verses came to my attention. I have read them many times over as I’m sure you have also. But this time I saw the sadness, I saw the darkness, I saw the emptiness, I saw the destruction, I guess you could put about any adjective you want that describes things which represent desolation, and end to it all.

If you will turn with me to.

REVELATION 20:12-15

20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Have you ever come across a person that did not believe in Heaven, Hell, or Jesus? I know I have too many times in my life and I’m sure you have also.

Just look at verse 15, how sad of a day that will be for untold millions if not more to hear God tell them that He did not know them.

There will be no escape from what will happen next, there is no more time to change your mind, or to make an excuse as to why you are in this predicament.

It is sad that people have harden their hearts and they have rejected the pull of the Holy Spirit to draw them to Christ and to accept him as their Lord and Savior.

I truly do think verse 15 has to be one of not the saddest verse in the entire Bible. There is no hope, no conclusion that will end up with them being allowed to enter into heaven…its over, it’s all over!

God did not find them, now for eternity their soul will be in the Lake of Fire, lost without being with their creator.

How did this happen? How did this person come to stand before God and then be sent to Hell?

First off, I must say there was a time when the Holy Ghost was before them and moving in and around their spirit to Call them unto repentance.

God has, and never will allow a person to go to Hell without a visit from the Holy Spirit to attempt to change their course in life here on earth.

The Holy Spirit has come to everyone living after Jesus died on that cross.

That pulling of the Holy Spirit pulled you from being a sinner lost and headed for Hell to becoming a child of the living God and to have your name written in the Book of Life. This is the same Holy Spirit that pull me, and everyone else, to salvation.

The same Holy Spirit that pull you and I from the grasp of Satan and an eternity in Hell.

This is the same Holy Spirit that has been rejected by untold millions or more and because of this rejection, their name will not be in the Book of Life.

These people have been blinded by Satan to the fact that there is a God, there is the Son Jesus, there is a Heaven there is a Hell.

They believe that once you die, you are gone, you are buried and covered with dirt and your flesh rots away. Or as some say, you become worm dirt.

A typical conversation goes something like this.

I want to tell you about Jesus’ sir.

I do not believe in Jesus and that fairy tale story.

Do you believe in Heaven or Hell?

Nope, once you die, you die, nothing more to add to the story.
