JESUS DREAMT

Those who believe and is baptized will be saved.
Jesus (Mark 16: 16a)

Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt.

Jesus had dreams. He had great dreams about himself, his Father and the world around his and called it as the kingdom of God. His dreams were positive and big enough to inspire himself and others. The power of his dreams helped him to climb even up to the Calvary passionately. He believed in the beauty of those dreams. So he said: Those who believe and baptized will be saved. (Mk 16:16a)

Call to baptism is an invitation to participate in the great dreams of Jesus. It is a call to have dreams in one’s life. One who is baptized is the one who shares the great dream of Jesus- the kingdom of God. Jesus wanted his followers to dream along with him. This is because; he was very much convinced about the power of positive dreams. Dreams always precede reality. Yesterdays’ dreams are today’s reality and today’s dreams will be the future of humanity.

The dreams Jesus intended here are not what one experience in sleep or in daydreaming. They are of different stuff.
