“The sobering question for the disciple is whether our attention is being drawn to something worthwhile. Spectacles are ephemeral, which is why those who suffer from FOMO are always on the lookout for The Next Big Thing. Disciples who are awake to reality have their attention fixed on the only breaking news that ultimately matters, namely, the news that the kingdom of God has broken into our world in Jesus Christ. This breaking news demands our sustained attention, and a wide-awake imagination.”
