He sent them out to tell people about him and the Word of God. He led them out to Bethany, outside of the city and blessed them.
He was then taken up in a cloud into Heaven. Two men then appeared clothed in white robes and asked why they were watching the heavens. They said “Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!” (Acts1:11)
The ascensionFor Christians, when Jesus went up to Heaven 40 days after he rose from the dead. shows Jesus returning to his Father and later at Pentecost the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles, just as Jesus had promised.
