Huckleberry Finn’s most famous and defining moral quote from Mark Twain’s novel is, “All right, then, I’ll go to hell.” He was letting Jim know that he would take for him even if it meant going to hell.
Tremendous statement by anyone, but could the Apostle Paul make a similar statement? Glad you asked.
Romans 9:3
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Paul loves his people so much that he is willing to be separated from God if it means they can be saved instead.
Was it hyperbole? What would you give for your people? Give it some thought.
