Where is Jesus Today?
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
is no longer in Jerusalem; no longer walks the shores of Galilee; no
longer in the fisherman's boat; no longer hangs on a cross; and no
longer in the tomb. Our Lord and Savior has risen and ascended into
heaven as our great high priest, our advocate with the Father; our
lawyer in heaven, as it were, interceding for us, and preparing a
place for us in heaven. He is preparing his kingdom and calling his
people.
One day we shall hear the trumpet
sound and we who know him as our own personal Savior will be drawn
away to meet the King of kings, and dwell and reign with him forever.
It is a good thing to study
history and remember our beginning and consider our roots. It is
good to remember and never forget the miracles, and sinless. Holy,
unspotted life of our Lord; it is good to remember that while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us, taking our sins upon himself and
bearing all our iniquities; shedding his blood as the only cleanser
of our guilt and sin. It is good to reflect and remember, but we
must not stay in the past. We must consider where we are today in
our relationship with him. We must be constantly in communication
with him today to know his will and get instructions for our daily
activities.
He has promised us that from
heaven he will hear our prayers; accept our praise; and provide for
all our spiritual and physical needs. Let us learn to keep our minds
and our hearts stayed and focused on him, and walk in the spirit and
grow in wisdom and grace. He has promised to keep us in perfect peace
when our minds are stayed on him.
