Ask NT Wright Anything
Heavenly Citizenship and Earthly Mission
Paul emphasizes in Colossians and Philippians that believers' lives are hidden with Christ in God, and when Christ appears, they will appear with him in glory, being raised to new life. Rather than going back to heaven, believers are currently citizens of heaven on earth with a mission. Jesus will come from heaven to earth to establish his rule and reign, bringing heaven and earth together. This contrasts with the misconception of being taken away from earth to heaven, which is perpetuated by popular culture's negative portrayals. Engaging children's imagination with stories like Narnia can help them understand the concept of heaven better.
