Summary
The early Christians believed that when Jesus ascended into heaven, he had been installed and exalted as King, reigning as Lord of all. Today, however, we tend to view Christ’s kingship as merely symbolic—like that of a contemporary British monarch. With sin and suffering, pain and brokenness, evil and injustice all around, how dare we proclaim that Jesus is reigning now. So we push his kingship off into the future when he returns.
