Ascension refers to?

Ascension refers to?

• A. The rising of the body of Jesus into heaven on the 40th day after his Resurrection
• B. The descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost
• C. The birth of Jesus
• D. The Resurrection of Jesus

Answer: (A)

Ascension means Jesus rising into heaven forty days after he rose from the dead. It marks the moment when he completes his time on earth and begins his heavenly reign, being taken up into the clouds and seated at the right hand of God. Before this, he appeared to his followers for forty days after the Resurrection to teach and comfort them. After the Ascension, the Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost to empower the disciples. So this event is specifically about Jesus’ ascent to heaven, not his birth, not the Resurrection itself, and not the coming of the Spirit.
