Where is Jesus Now?

At Christmas we think of Jesus as a baby dressed in swaddling clothes,  

sleeping on a bed of hay. 

At Easter we remember the betrayal, brutality, and cross where He  

died in our place. Then the glory of an empty tomb, and the angel's 

words, "He is not here, for He is risen as He said" (Matt. 28:6) 

Two special seasons that draw us to hear again how Jesus Christ 

came in love to rescue us from spiritual death. But with Easter over 

and Christmas far away, where do see our Lord today?

"God raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in 

heavenly places" (Ephesians 1: 20).

Most of us already know Jesus is with God in heaven enjoying wonders 

we can't even imagine, but do we know what else He's doing?

"Therefore [Jesus] is also able to save to the uttermost those who 

come to God through Him, since He ever lives to make intercession 

for them" (Hebrews 7:25 italics added).

The risen Savior sits at the right hand of God interceding for us. We 

can lose sight that Jesus is still acting on our behalf. When we do 

remember, it's astounding to realize that Jesus not only died for 

us, He also lives for us. 

After He paid for our sins, Jesus ascended to God and sent the Holy 

Spirit to become our counselor, comforter, and friend. As if that 

weren't amazing enough, our Advocate also prays for and defends us. 

With such incredible back up, why do we ever feel like we have to 

navigate this life on our own?  

The more we understand this, the more our lives will change for the 
better, because Jesus changes everything. Our part is to let Him.
