So What’s Jesus Up to?

Around Easter, Christians focus on the weeks prior to Jesus’ crucifixion.

Resurrection morning, we celebrate that death couldn’t keep Jesus in the grave.

But, where is Jesus now and what is He doing?

Hebrews 6:20 tells us where Jesus is. “Jesus has entered as a forerunner (in heaven) for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

Jesus is in heaven and He’s praying for us.

How do we know He’s in heaven?

He told His disciples before His crucifixion that He had come down from heaven to earth and He was returning to heaven.

People saw Jesus rise from the earth and ascend through the clouds into heaven.

Angels assured those watching Jesus rise in the air that what they thought they saw, they truly saw.

Yes, it’s true. If an airplane can defy gravity and ascend beyond our sight into the clouds, we need not question if Christ ascended into heaven.

All is well, friends. Christ, our forerunner, has gone ahead of us to heaven. He made it safely there. We will, too, where we’ll be united with loved ones and the Lord forever.

Lord Jesus, FORERUNNER, thank You for safely seeing believers into heaven’s glory.
