Have you ever wondered – what has Jesus actually been doing in heaven for the last 2,000 years?

Forty days after his resurrection Jesus ascended to heaven to sit at His Father’s right hand (Psalm 110:1), waiting for the time when he will return to this earth to establish the Kingdom of God. 1 Peter 3:22 says

“he has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.”

That’s an amazing statement! Jesus has been given authority by His Father to control world events on an international level. He is in overall command of the angels in the work of affecting what happens throughout the world ensuring that God’s purpose will be fulfilled. When Jesus returns, wars and violence will ultimately be brought to an end and he will administer true justice to all people.

Jesus is also very interested in us as individuals. If we believe in Jesus and respond to his call to follow him in our lives, we have the assurance that he is interested in our personal affairs and always ready to provide help in times of temptation and difficulty. Because Jesus is now immortal and in His Father’s presence in heaven, Hebrews 7:25 says

“he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.”

Jesus gives his faithful followers a promise that when he returns to this earth as King over all the World, they will join him for ever in the Kingdom of God.

“The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.”

Revelation 3:21
