Paragraph 1. CHRIST DESCENDED INTO HELL
634
“The gospel was preached even to the dead.”483 The descent
into hell brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfilment. This
is the last phase of Jesus’ messianic mission, a phase which is condensed in
time but vast in its real significance: the spread of Christ’s redemptive work
to all men of all times and all places, for all who are saved have been made
sharers in the redemption.
