Recently, a group of friends and I saw the movie “The Imagination Game.” The movie featured a real-life person, Alan Turing. Alan grew up a very bright, but lonely schoolboy – perhaps because of his inability to understand humour, tact and diplomacy. Even so, he excelled in mathematics and especially loved to solve puzzles.

At one point, when Alan was very discouraged, his friend, Joan Clarke, said to him: “Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.” That reminds me of 1 Corinthians:1:26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: which says: “For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh are called, not many mighty, not many noble.”

It seems that God calls those who, to the world at large, do not seem very impressive. It seems that Christians don’t quite fit it; they seem somehow different. Yet, the next verse (1 Corinthians:1:27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;) states, “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.”

This movie demonstrates the vital importance of imagination. We can look forward to a time when the whole world is transformed. A time when Jesus Christ will return to the earth to take the reigns of government. It will be a wonderful era when peace and prosperity will exceed the wildest imagination. To learn more about what this time will be like, read the booklet, Christ’s Reign on Earth: What It Will Be Like.
