“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”

“Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”

“One helpful way of identifying these kingdom features is to examine closely the "preview" passages in the Bible. Pop a movie into your DVD player, and you'll first see previews of coming attractions. Similarly, throughout the Bible are previews of the "feature film": the kingdom of God in all its consummated fullnness. These texts offer us glimpses into what live will be like in the new heavens and new earth.”

“God desires that we be like living signs of the kingdom, to provide visual aids of what life will look like one day when the kingdom is here fully. We will not bring the Kingdom or build the kingdom, but our privilege is to live out previews of “coming attractions,” revealing what this Kingdom will look like.”

“Life sometimes sends out previews - but It never reveals the Surprise Ending.”

“Everything comes to nothing in the end, I suppose. Or at least, nothing happens exactly the way we imagine it.”
