Have you ever wondered what Jesus is doing right now? Has it been 2,000 years since He ascended to heaven—did He go there to rest, retire, or wait? In this powerful conclusion to the six-month "Made for More" series, we discover the life-changing truth that Jesus didn't go to heaven to rest, but to rule.

Right now, Jesus is seated at the right hand of God the Father—the ultimate position of authority. Everything in your life is under His submission and permission. He's actively pouring out His Holy Spirit upon you, because He knows you can't fulfill His mission alone. Most comfortingly, Jesus is literally praying for you. The Son of God is taking your requests to God the Father! He's also building His church through ordinary people and continuing to save sinners. His work isn't done, and neither is yours.

This understanding transforms our purpose. Since Jesus is ruling, we trust Him. Since He's pouring out His Spirit, we receive His power. Since He's praying for us, we pray to Him. Since He's building His church, we invite people to experience it. And since He's saving people, we share the good news.

Jesus will return suddenly and finally, but He's patiently waiting for the last person to be saved according to His will. His delay isn't reason to doubt but evidence of His love—giving more people time to turn to Him. When He returns, He'll wipe away every tear and make all things new. Surprisingly, believers won't just worship Him eternally but will also reign with Him forever. Heaven isn't just an eternal choir practice; it's living life the way God always intended—without pain, hate, division, or sin.

You live differently when you know the end of the story. Since we know Jesus ultimately wins, we can continue moving the gospel forward with confidence today. Remember: if you're not dead, He's not done. This is no time for the church to go on break—the mission continues through you!
