JESUS

The Perishable Fantasy

The world is a fantasy if compared with Heaven's Reality. What is a Fantasy in this context? A Fantasy is a made-up reality, and it isn't reality. Why did Jesus come? To save us from the world which is fake reality towards an eternal reality in Heaven. Let's look at some Bible Scriptures.

"And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave." (1 John 2:17a). The world will not last forever, it is slowly fading away. Those whose mind is fixed on the world's fantasies will fade with it, but those who look and are ever looking at Heaven's Reality will not fade away. "But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever." (1 John 2:17b). What is the will of God? It is to ever look at Jesus. When we look, we are preparing ourselves for our new Reality. And this is being in God's Presence and staying there forever. What a delight it would be, to join the Angels and sing the everlasting "Alleluia!" to Jesus, the King. Are you ready to meet with Jesus, because He is coming very soon.

"Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you." (1 John 2:15).  God is telling you, dear reader, that He has put you on the earth for a purpose and that purpose is to save many who have been trapped by this fantasy. To show them the path to the everlasting throne, where they can request for anything that they want, making them feel their acceptance into the family of God. And while we are walking and working on the earth, let us not love its system, THE WORLD or anything in it. A sign of not loving God is loving the world. "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money." (Matthew 6:24). You cannot serve God and still be in with this world.

If you are reading this right now and you don't yet believe in Jesus, you are living in the fantasy world and if you remain in this system, you are going to perish/fade with the world. (I John 2:17). But the GOODNEWS is this: Jesus Loves You and He wants to take you out and bring you into reality, that was why He gave His life; our eternal freedom. There will be a chapter about the ETERNAL REALITIES. 

"Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand." (Colossians 3:1). This is the first stage of freedom from the Perishable Fantasy: We set our focus on the realities of Heaven. We look away from the world. For example, drinking, lying stealing, lust, evil thoughts, deception, etc. We look away from our past and look towards our new present and future. "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" (2 Corinthians 5:17). 

Do you know something, my dear Reader, that you can enjoy the eternal reality here on earth? Yes, you can. "Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth." (Colossians 3:2). When you set your mind on Heaven, on Jesus, you begin to experience the reality of Heaven inside your heart. Your eyes will be opened to see beyond the earth, your ears will be opened to hear Angels song. All you have to do is FOCUS. FIX YOUR FOCUS ON JESUS.

In the next chapter, we will be reading about a story of a man who rejected the invitation of having the Eternal Reality. He clung unto the perishable fantasy, what Jesus said next, may shock you.
