Colossians 3:1-4

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears,then you also will appear with him in glory.

It’s imagination but not make-believe. 

Christianity calls its own to live imaginative, futuristically in the realm to come with minds on the prize to come like it’s already arrived. 

It’s a faith so confident, earthly limitations of the here and now can’t contain it. 

A mind set on things above versus those of our experience here on earth requires imagination that can never capture the real thing but fuels our hopes and dreams of it. 

The Bible provides many detailed descriptions of our heavenly eternity to come, but getting lost in our speculations about it is an adventure we are more than encouraged to take. 

This is not our home anymore. 

Raised with faith in Christ is our invitation to knock on heaven’s door today and every day for a free peek inside.
