The Imaginative Conservative: The Breach Between Heaven and Earth
The concepts of heaven and earth are deeply rooted in religious language, often overlooked in their complexity. Ancient peoples viewed spiritual and physical realities as intertwined, with heaven symbolizing divine presence and earth representing human existence. C.S. Lewis argues that this relationship reflects a holistic understanding of reality, where the spiritual dimension is not separate from the material.
As civilization grapples with the implications of the Resurrection, believers are encouraged to recognize the gradual convergence of heaven and earth, as expressed in the Lord's Prayer. This intersection is seen in prayer, good works, and moments of divine connection. The anticipation of Christ's return invites contemplation of how the kingdom of God is manifesting in the world today.
