For Those With Ears to Hear

We love to talk about the return of Christ.

We make movies about it.
Write books.
Chart timelines.
Speculate endlessly.

And while we sit in our holy huddle waiting for Jesus to come back and fix everything, His enemies run wild, and His people keep quiet.

Here’s a question nobody’s asking.

What if Jesus isn’t waiting to return?
What if He’s waiting on us?

“The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.’”
— Psalm 110:1

He’s not pacing heaven.
He’s seated. Reigning.
Right now.

That verse isn’t future tense. It’s present.
Jesus is on the throne.
Not later.
Now.

So why does it feel like the world’s on fire and the Church is asleep?

Because we’ve believed a lie.

We’ve been told that the Church’s job is to hang on tight, save a few souls, and wait for Jesus to rapture us out of the mess.
That’s not the Gospel. That’s spiritual escapism.

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”
— Matthew 28:18–19

Jesus didn’t say “wait.”
He said “go.”

He didn’t tell us to bunker down until He returns.
He told us to storm the gates of hell.
To subdue the earth.
To disciple nations, not just individuals.
To teach them to obey everything He commanded, not just invite Him into their heart.

The early Church didn’t have glorified bodies.
They had Holy Spirit fire.
And they turned the world upside down.

So what’s our excuse?

I’ll dig deeper into this in the next post, but here’s the takeaway for now.

Jesus isn’t waiting to reign.
He already is.
We’re the ones lagging behind.

So Church, wake up.
Get off the bench.
And act like the King is on the throne.
