Have not heard that explanation of 16:28 from Wesley before. But the reality that a brother, son or daughter had followed you into hell would surely add to your eternal torment. Conversely, in heaven, Revelation 21:4 tells us that God will wipe away every tear. Question would be , " Why would there be any tears in heaven? ". Only thing I could think of is the eternal lament of a son, daughter or other loved one who is not present with us in eternal presence of God. How God will do that we aren't told; just the assurance that mourning will be no more in heaven.
