 What is hell like? Well, the Bible gives us an illustration from an eyewitness account. Luke 16, our text, verse 23, this man was instantly aware of his torment, and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torment. He was instantly aware that there was a better place. He saw Abraham afar off, and he wanted to go where he was. He instantly began to cry out for mercy. Verse number 24, he said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me.
