dave which ‘reality’ do you live in?
option 1. there is the reality of the world that we live in each and every day. this is the natural world. a world where justice is a consumer product, where war is always at our doorstep and where peace is only found in fairy tales.
option 2. there is the reality we create for ourselves. a world that answers only to our own circumstances. in this world nothing outside of our own sphere of influence can truly affect us.
option 3. there is the reality of the world that Jesus taught us about. a world yet to come, but one hoped for and seen in moments and glimpses. a world where the meek are kings and queens. a world where the impoverished and starved are wealthy and well fed.
do we hold onto this coming reality, seeking to advance its truth here and now, or do we live and die for what we believe to be real and meaningful according to our current reality?
must we participate in this world’s reality or are we called to a higher reality, here and now? must we be called dreamers or foolish if we seek to participate in the coming kingdom, despite living in this fallen reality?
in this world where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal…what is really worth holding on to?
