In regards to the challenge to see eternity as a reality and that Christ followers live today in ways that echo into eternity, Former Anglican Bishop N. T. Wright of Durham has written:
“The whole point of what -Jesus was up to was that he was doing close up, in the present, what he was promising long-term in the future. And what he was promising for that future and doing in the present was not saving souls for a disembodied eternity but rescuing -people from the corruption and decay of the way the world presently is so they could enjoy, already in the present, that renewal of creation which is God’s ultimate purpose — and so they could thus become colleagues and partners in that large project.”
