The Ascension of Jesus Christ

While Jesus was speaking to his disciples, he was taken up in the sky, and a cloud hid him from their sight. After his resurrection, Jesus appeared many times to different groups of believers. Then after forty days, he ascended to heaven. The disciples saw Jesus going up into heaven with their own eyes. Then two men in white, two angels, appeared to the disciples. These angels told the disciples: “You do not need to look up to heaven to find Jesus. He ascended to be with his Father. Do not look up to the sky. You have much work ahead of you. At the appointed time, Jesus will return to earth in the same way that he left.”
