What Is Jesus Doing Right Now?

The popular phrase "What would Jesus do?" is stuck on the incarnation. The ascension opens up an entirely new and more appropriate question: "What is Jesus doing right now?"

Celebrating Christmas gives us faith; it affirms that our beliefs have roots in the historical fact of the incarnation. Celebrating Easter gives us assurance; it affirms that Christ wiped away our sins by his great sacrifice and triumphed over death. Celebrating the ascension gives us hope and points us toward transformation; it affirms that we can become more and more like Jesus is right now.
