Created to be Heaven on Earth

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul uses the most dramatic language to turn our lives upside down and focus our attention on the realization of the work of Christ taking place inside our hearts:- 

“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3  : 17-19)

In these remarkable lines, we hear the anthem of heaven; we enter into the symphony of creation, and we listen to a song that is as vast as the universe itself. The love of the Father is His majestic heart now alive in the children He created.  

This prayer of Paul emphasizes to us that the goodness of God is the message that our hearts needed to hear, the devastating corruption of Adam’s sin had tainted our minds, but God, in Christ, has once and forever completely restored us into our Father’s loving embrace.

The love of God is a cosmic transforming power that has no end. Its breadth, height, depth, and length are far beyond the world’s comprehension. Creation groans for its manifestation, imploring the Sons of the Most High King to shine in the darkness. The universe holds its breath in expectation as we start to delight in the finished work of Christ.  

We are heavens conductor bringing the glory of the King to a dry stubble land.
