THINKPOD: Why Did Jesus Ascend, and What Is He Doing Now? | Patrick Schreiner

Christians talk a lot about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and rightly so. Those are important doctrines, and they are vital to understand, if we're going to be sharing our faith with others. But what do we say when someone asks us where Jesus is now, and what he's doing? He went back to Heaven, and the Bible says that he sat down on the throne, but is he just... waiting to come back? He's interceding for us, but what does that really mean? To everyone who could use some help answering these questions, my guest, Dr. Patrick Schreiner, is going to help us out. Dr. Schreiner is associate professor of New Testament language and literature at Western Seminary. He is the author of The Kingdom of God and the Glory of the Cross and Matthew, Disciple and Scribe, as well as The Ascension of Christ: Recovering a Neglected Doctrine, which we are going to focus on today.
