In biblical context, Gehenna was a valley outside Jerusalem associated with idolatry and child sacrifice (2 Kings 23:10). It later became a symbol of divine judgment and eternal punishment. ‘their worm never dies,’ and the fire is never quenched.’ Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe speaker of this verse, Jesus is teaching His disciples about the seriousness of sin and the reality of hell. 2. Disciples The immediate audience of Jesus' teaching, who are being instructed on the gravity of sin and the consequences of leading others into sin. 3. Gehenna The term used for hell in this context, originally a physical location outside Jerusalem associated with idolatry and later a metaphor for eternal punishment. Teaching Points The Reality of HellJesus uses vivid imagery to convey the seriousness of hell. It is a place of eternal separation from God, where the consequences of sin are fully realized. The Seriousness of Sin Sin is not to be taken lightly. Jesus emphasizes the drastic measures one should take to avoid sinning, highlighting the eternal consequences of unrepentant sin. Personal Responsibility Believers are called to examine their lives and remove anything that leads them into sin. This requires a proactive and intentional approach to holiness. The Urgency of Repentance The imagery of unquenchable fire and undying worm underscores the urgency of repentance. Believers must turn away from sin and seek God's forgiveness. The Call to Holiness Jesus' teaching calls believers to pursue holiness and righteousness, understanding that their actions have eternal significance.(44) Where their worm dieth not.--The words are taken almost literatim from the closing verse of Isaiah (Isaiah 66:24), where they appear as part of the description of the triumph of Jehovah. The true worshippers should serve in His Temple continually, and they should go forth and see the carcases of the transgressors, "for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh." The scenery is, like that of Isaiah 63:1-6, drawn from the slaughter of earthly battles, and the prophet exults in vision over the putrid carcases and the blazing fires that consume them, and thinks of that scene as perpetuated throughout eternity. The imagery was thus already familiar, and it coalesced naturally with the ideas of Gehenna. Possibly the valley of Hinnom, as the great cloaca of Jerusalem, receiving its solid as well as its fluid sewage, with putrid offal and blazing fires consuming them, had become in this way a visible type of the unseen Gehenna; but the authorities are hardly definite enough to warrant the positive statement that it presented such a scene. The interpretation of the symbols (for a literal acceptance of the words is obviously out of the question) is not far to seek. Well-nigh all Christian thinkers have seen in the gnawing worm, the anguish of an endless remorse, the memory of past sins. Fire retains its wonted force as the expression of the righteousness of God (Hebrews 12:29) manifesting itself to the consciousness of the sinner in all its awfulness, purifying where there is any desire, and therefore capacity, for purification, but never altering its essential character, even as the fire "never can be quenched." So much the words declare distinctly, as the law of righteous retribution. They do not absolutely exclude the thought that the fire may consume or destroy that which it cannot purify; still less do they affirm that it will.Verse 44. - Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched. These words are a quotation from Isaiah 66:24, and they are repeated three times in the Authorized Version. But the best ancient authorities omit them in the two first places, retaining them at ver. 48. The metaphor is very striking as well as awful. Ordinarily the worm feeds upon the disorganized body, and then dies. The fire consumes the fuel, and then itself expires. But here the worm never dies; the fire never goes out. The words of Cornelius a Lapide on the original passage in Isaiah are well worth recording here: "I beseech you, O reader, by the mercies of our God, by your own salvation, by that one little life entrusted to you and committed to your care, that you will ever keep before your eyes the living memory, as of eternity and of eternal torments, so also of the eternal joys on the other side offered to you by God, and concerning which you here cast the die, and that irrevocable. Let these two things never depart from your mind. In this world, 'Vanity of vanities, and all is vanity.' Oh, what a void there is in earthly things! Oh, how vain is all our life without Christ! In the world to come, truth of truths, and all is truth; stability of stabilities, and all is stability; eternity of eternities, and all is eternity. An eternity in heaven most happy, in hell most miserable, ' Where their worm dies not, and the. fire is not quenched.'" St. Bernard says "the worm that never dies is the memory of the past, which never ceases to gnaw the conscience of the impenitent." Parallel Commentaries ...
