THE ASCENSION OF JESUS
 The Christian doctrine of the Ascension holds that Jesus' body ascended to heaven in the presence of his apostles following his resurrection, and that in heaven he sits at the Father's right hand. In the Letter to the Romans (c. 56-57), Paul describes Christ as in heaven and in the abyss, the earliest Christian reference to Jesus in heaven. The most influential account of the Ascension, and the earliest, is in the Acts of the Apostles 1:1-11, where Jesus is taken up bodily into heaven forty days after his resurrection, as witnessed by his apostles. |
