Parallel Universe
Bible:Luke 12:1-20
Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord
Jesus Christ (PHILIPPIANS 3:20).
Reading
The idea of parallel universes sounds like something from sci-fi movies! But we actually live in a parallel universe ourselves. I don’t mean there’s another version of you in another reality who’s some kind of superhero. I mean that right now we’re living in two worlds. One of those ‘universes’ is about what we see and do in the world around : going to school, catching up on homework, hanging out with friends, uploading to Instagram, eating, sleeping, brushing our teeth . . . The other ‘universe’ we live in is spiritual: which means we can’t see it. But that doesn’t make it any less real. It is a world of angels, spiritual forces and the somewhere-out-there places called heaven and hell. These parallel universes most dramatically came together when Jesus was born in Bethlehem (LUKE 2:1-20). What Jesus went on to do on planet earth made it possible for God to make us “[citizens] of heaven”, rather than just people of earth (PHILIPPIANS 3:20). We were once spiritually dead in the one universe, and headed for physical death in the other (EPHESIANS 2:1-3)—now we have been made fully alive forever by giving our lives to Jesus. He makes the two worlds one again. For now we live on earth, but “eagerly await a Saviour from [heaven], the Lord Jesus Christ” (PHILIPPIANS 3:20). We are of earth and of heaven!
