What is Jesus Christ Doing Today?
by John Williams
I
wonder if you have ever been asked a question like: ‘What is Jesus
doing today?’ or ‘Where is Jesus today?’ I wonder how often you stop to
think about where Christ currently is and what He is currently doing.
This topic is sometimes referred to as the: ‘Present Session of Christ’
(or Christ’s ’heavenly session’).
Most Christians know what Jesus
did during His first coming. They are aware of the virgin birth, the
death and resurrection of Christ and also the ascension. They know very
well the details of His earthly ministry. Most Christians know also that
the Lord will return, even if they don’t really know the details or
have no interest in the prophetic portions of God’s word. But they know
little about what He is doing right now. I wonder, when was the last
time you heard a sermon on the topic of what Jesus is doing today? There
are right answers and there are wrong answers to this question, and
these answers can have a profound effect on our theological worldview
and practical Christian living.
For example, a post on this subject by Ligonier ministries, which was founded by famous reformed theologian RC Sproul, says:
“In
sitting at the right hand of God, Jesus sits on the “throne of His
father David” (Luke 1:26–33). He is the Messiah of Israel, “the highest
of the kings of the earth” and the fulfilment of the Lord’s promise to
keep the off- spring of David on the throne forever. (Ps. 89:19–37). We
are not waiting for Jesus to enter into His messianic reign, He enjoys
it now.”
I seriously disagree with that conclusion. Thus, there
is a big difference between Pre-millennial theology and the A-millennial
and Post-millennial doctrine when it comes to what Jesus Christ is
doing today and it is a difference that matters. Despite what RC Sproul
says, Jesus is not currently sitting on the Throne of David ruling over a
spiritual millennium. But He is doing some work (or some works), and
this is what I will be considering in this series of articles.
