During His ministry on earth, Jesus of Nazareth spent most of His time healing the sick, casting out demons, training disciples, teaching the people, and preaching the kingdom of God. But what is Jesus Christ doing today? What is His present-day ministry?

In Jesus Now, bestselling author Frank Viola gives us the first comprehensive treatment of what Jesus has been doing since His ascension until His second coming. In an easy-to-read format, Viola explores the seven aspects of Christ's ministry today and shows how each one benefits the saved and the unsaved.

Open these pages and discover what the Lord Jesus Christ is doing now and how it will impact your life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I'm not aware of any other work that so clearly fleshes out the present ministry of Christ. Using a style that is engaging and accessible to all, Frank discusses Jesus as our High Priest, our Shepherd, our Bridegroom. He then unpacks what the New Testament has to say about Jesus as the Author and Finisher of our faith, as the builder and head of the Church, and as Lord of the world. I believe readers will find this work not only informative, but transformative. The first chapter alone will set free many who live in condemnation."
Greg Boyd, Reknew.org

"Frank Viola is a master at the discipline of historical context, and Jesus Now is a masterpiece that shows us how to 'Christify' our story--to move from an unscripted spirituality to a scripturally scripted identity."
Leonard Sweet, from the Foreword

"Viola is an exuberant writer who knows his Bible. I would recommend Jesus Now to Christian leaders and discussion groups to understand the present-day ministry of Christ."

Preaching about the past and the future cause Christianity to be passive and even died. Sometimes many believers are in the same situation where the disciple were at the time of Jesus's death .They were afraid locked there door and remember the master who left them to go to the cross. Two disciples express their hopelessness and frustration on the way to Emmaus. They said they were hoping that Jesus was the saviors of Israel but now he is died. They can talk about the past and their future hope but couldn't see the living Lord who is traveling with them right now. Jesus rebuke their unbelief and opened the prophecy for them so that they can see JESUS NOW. I believers This book will help many who are in same situation traveling down to Emmaus hopelessly open their eyes to see Jesus who is with them right now. This book gives more light to see Jesus now. I recommend all believers read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good So Far....

Honestly I love Frank Viola and I feel that he hits on areas others are afraid to go...just in the first couple pages he tells stories that could offend but he takes the risk for the sake of the reader and I appreciate that! I have not finished it yet as it is a deep study and requires thinking and rereading so as of today I am really enjoying it and see it as a breath of fresh air. Learning more about application and working out in real time how following Jesus can look in today's world is a huge benefit for me and my walk with Jesus. Plus, the background Frank gives is so helpful in understanding Jesus and what he is doing now! I thank Frank for writing it and I would recommend it to anyone! On another note I would recommend Jesus A Theography by Frank/Lenard Sweet, very good and very useful in understanding our faith and who we follow!!

Viola asks a great question, " What is Jesus presently doing?". I was advised years ago that whenever the Lord sends you somewhere to minister find out what He is doing and then join Him. Sounds easy, right? Its not as easy as it sounds. However, Viola gives us an easy to read and biblically faithful book on how to recognize Jesus's present day ministry. Excellent read and easy to understand. This is why I give " JESUS NOW" five (5) stars. Check it out and join in with the Lord in what He is doing today!

4.0 out of 5 stars Is Jesus Important Today?
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2022

I think this quote from Chapter 7 says it best:

"We’ve seen that the present-day ministry of Jesus Christ is multifaceted. Jesus hasn’t retired since He ascended into heaven. He’s not gone on vacation. Instead, He’s active in the world. And He’s active in our lives.

The lordship of Jesus over the entire world went into effect when God the Father raised Christ from the dead and enthroned Him in heaven. At that moment, Jesus of Nazareth became this world’s true Lord—Lord of heaven and earth, possessing all authority."

Whenever I read or listen to anything from Frank Viola, I'm challenged to reconsider my old thought patterns about what it means to be a christian. What I love about this book is that it reveals Jesus in living colour in our day and in a pragmatic way. Frank Viola has a true talent to restore clarity to the New Testament big picture where we've often veiled it by getting too focussed on individual verses or reading our own culture into the meaning. I highly recommend this book.

Did myself a favor by getting this book - such a great pleasure reading the wonderful truths of what Jesus is doing TODAY and NOW. One of the books that every Christian ought to have in his/her library. We cannot be ignorant of the present-day ministry of Christ. It's not just that Jesus died, rose again, ascended into heaven, and He will come back again, but also His working in His people every single day. This book will also remove fears, doubts, and insecurity out of a person's life. Thanks, Frank!
