Does this not say it all?
Jesus is not some idea, nor is He a figment of our imagination.
Jesus is a real person, who shed His blood, who rose from the dead, who is seated at the right hand of God the Father.
He has revealed Himself fully in His Word, too!
That's why Paul was specifically clear when he told the Colossians what to focus on:
"1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." (Colossians 3: 1-4)
Pastor Joseph Prince put it another way:
"This is not a game, you know! You are in Christ. Do you believe that? For some of you, it is too simple for you to say: "As Jesus is free from. . .so am I in this world."
I admit that I was one of those people.
Still treating Jesus like a figment of my imagination as opposed to a real person.
That changes today!
