Reflecting on Jesus' descent among the dead can strengthen our faith in the limitless mercy of God. He does not abandon anyone in hell ---- he will go to the farthest and most remote place to rescue even one wandering sheep. Even when we find ourselves in the spiritual death of sin, even if we fall into the most unspeakable mortal sin, we are not beyond the mercy of God. The famous line of Betsie, the sister of Corrie ten Boom who survived the hellish horrors of a Nazi, death camp, reminds us that, "There is no pit so deep that God's love is deeper still." ---- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."♥
