Supposing a friend's coming to visit me. And I say, "I've kept some cold beer in the fridge for you." That's doesn't mean my friend has to get into the fridge to drink the beer.

Wright giving an example for how the Christian's inheritance of a new resurrected body is waiting in heaven, which is God's space.
