It’s easy to think of Jesus only in the past.
We picture the manger. The miracles. The cross. The empty tomb.
But the Bible makes something very clear: Jesus didn’t finish His work at the resurrection—He continues His work today.
He is not distant. He is not inactive.
Jesus isn’t finished.
So what is He doing right now?
1. Jesus Is Alive
Everything begins here.
Jesus is not a memory or a movement. He is a living Person.
“I am the Living One. I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever!” (Revelation 1:18)
Right now, at this very moment, Jesus is alive—fully aware, fully present, fully engaged.
2. Jesus Is Seated on the Throne
After accomplishing our salvation, Jesus ascended to heaven and took His place of authority.
“After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” (Hebrews 1:3)
This is not the posture of inactivity—it’s the position of a King whose work on the cross is complete and whose authority is absolute.
Nothing happening in your life—or in this world—is outside His rule.
3. Jesus Is Interceding for You
This may be one of the most personal and powerful truths in Scripture.
“He always lives to intercede for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)
Jesus is praying for His people.
When you feel weak…
When you don’t know what to pray…
When you’re struggling to stay faithful…
Jesus is speaking to the Father on your behalf.
You are not facing life alone.
4. Jesus Is Leading His Church
The Church is not ultimately led by pastors, leaders, or denominations.
“He is the head of the body, the church.” (Colossians 1:18)
Jesus is actively:
- guiding
- correcting
- strengthening
- building His Church
Even when things seem uncertain or messy, Jesus has not stepped away. He is still the Head.
5. Jesus Is Building His Kingdom
Jesus said:
“I will build My church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it.” (Matthew 16:18)
That promise is still in motion.
Across the world, people are coming to Christ. Lives are being transformed. The gospel is advancing.
You may not always see it—but Jesus is still building.
6. Jesus Is Preparing a Place for You
Jesus hasn’t forgotten His people.
“I go to prepare a place for you… I will come back and take you to be with Me.” (John 14:2–3)
Your future is not uncertain. It is being prepared by Jesus Himself.
7. Jesus Is With You by His Spirit
Though Jesus is in heaven, He is also present with us.
“I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus is:
- guiding your decisions
- strengthening you in weakness
- comforting you in trials
- speaking truth into your life
You are never alone.
8. Jesus Is Returning
History is not drifting—it’s moving toward a moment.
“This same Jesus… will come back.” (Acts 1:11)
The story isn’t over. Jesus will return:
- to judge
- to restore
- to reign openly and fully
9. Jesus Is Glorified
The Bible gives us a glimpse of Jesus as He is now—not in weakness, but in glory.
“His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.” (Revelation 1:16)
He is no longer the suffering servant on the cross.
He is the risen, exalted, glorified Son of God.
Final Thought
Jesus isn’t finished.
He is alive.
He is reigning.
He is praying.
He is leading.
He is preparing.
He is coming again.
And here’s what that means for you:
Your life is not random.
Your prayers are not unheard.
Your future is not uncertain.
Jesus is actively involved in your life right now.
So keep trusting.
Keep following.
Keep your eyes on Him.
Because the same Jesus who saved you…
is still working on your behalf today.
