He ascended into heaven
and is sitted at the right hand
of the Father…

40 days – after the resurrection Jesus ascended into heaven. ( Lk. 24:50-51)
Two Angels appeared after the ascension who said: “Jesus will come back the way you have seen him go
up to heaven. (Act 1:11)
The Mission – “Go therefore, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and
teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. Know that I am with you always; till the end of time. (
Mt. 28:19-20)

HE IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER (Mk. 16:19)


 It means the power to carry out all the Father’s command.
 He stands and plead for us to be saved and enter eternal life (Rom. 8:34)
BASIC TRUTHS OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH ABOUT JESUS' ASCENSION
1. The Ascension marks Jesus’ exaltation into the heavenly realm of His Father.
2. It does not separate Christ from us because as he promised, from heaven “ he draws everyone to
himself” (Jn 12:32)
3. Since he “ lives forever to make intercession,” Christ continues to exercise his priesthood since he
entered “ heaven itself, that he might now appear before God on our behalf” (Heb. 7:25; 9:24)
4. The ascended Christ as head of the Church gives us, members of His Body, the hope of one day
entering into glory with him (cf. CCC 661 – 67)
