Destined for Reconciliation This brings us to the third and final movement of the gospel story’s plotline: heaven and earth are destined for reconciliation. Jesus went to the cross, Colossians tells us, to reconcile heaven and earth: God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in [Jesus], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
