The Ascension Of The Son
On the Mount of Olives, near Bethany, the forty days of post-resurrection ministry have reached their magnificent climax. After blessing His disciples, Jesus began to be lifted up while they were looking on. A cloud received Him out of their sight, physically removing Him from the earthly realm and returning Him to the right hand of the Father.
As the disciples stood gazing intently into the sky, two men in white clothing appeared beside them. They issued a gentle rebuke and a massive promise: "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." The era of the Church has begun.
"And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight."
— Acts 1:9
