If someone should say, “There is no hell,” I ask, “Then what was the cross about?"
6 Ways Jesus Experienced Hell When He Was on the Cross
Artists and poets have speculated over the centuries about hell (consider Dante’s “Inferno”), but the clearest revelation of hell is given at the cross. The Apostle’s Creed affirms that Christ descended into hell. While this has often been taken to refer to a journey Christ made after his death, the Reformers understood it to refer to what Christ experienced in the hours of darkness when he bore our sins and became our sacrifice.
Hell has six dimensions and Christ experienced all of them on the cross.
