Looking Beneath the Surface

March 26, 2008

Lar,

This post will be brief today, but I am hopeful that it will stimulate some thought.  As of late, I have spent some considerable time just looking around and reflecting upon things unseen.  What I mean by that is, as I mentioned to you in our conversation yesterday, I sometimes look at a particular landscape (whatever is in my vision at the time really) and I ask myself:  What would I be seeing right now if all was as it ought to be?  Or what will this particular place look like on the New Earth?

I encourage you to do the same at least once or twice today.  Just look and ask yourself that question:  What will all this be like on the New Earth, after Jesus has come again to renew all things?  Then let your sanctified imagination wander.

We could also do the same with people.  With relationships.  With projects.  We can ask ourselves, if there was no sin, what would this be like?  How would I interact with this person?  And how would they interact with me?

Sure, we won’t come up with all the right answers, but if you try it, I think you will agree that it is a good exercise.  If nothing else, it will surely make you long all the more for the coming day in which all things will be made new.

Looking forward to that Day,

Joe
