Imagine those that have taken His name in vain, hated Him, disowned Him, actually spit upon Him down here, and having to acknowledge His lordship. But they are not reconciled to God at all, because you find in the epistle to the Colossians that He “made peace through the blood of his cross, to reconcile all things unto himself.” “All things”—then that means under the earth?

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
