Jim Tunney, the dean of National Football League referees, wrote a blog recently that caught my eye. He mentioned how when one NFL defensive player intercepts a pass, most of the defensive unit on the field runs to an end zone for a photo op.

Whenever I read the Apostle Paul’s words to the Ephesians in chapter 2, that image comes to my mind. I imagine that God has my picture on his wall or in his wallet. Verse 6 says, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” (Eph 2:6 NIV). However, if you look closer at that passage, it says more than that. It actually says that God sees US seated with him, not just our picture. What a mind-boggling thought. God sees us in the future, but speaks of it as already done in the past.
