Bible Question:
where in the bible does it say when Jesus went to heaven after his resurrection? |
Bible Answer: Hi Elizabeth, Welcome to the Forum It partly depends on whether you mean when the risen Jesus first went to God, or whether you are referring to His final ascension into Heaven in bodily form after which He did not appear again (except in special circumstances). John 20.17 appears to suggest that He 'ascended to the Father' initially on the day of His resurrection. And this is what we would expect. But His final ascension into Heaven in bodily form was undoubtedly after 40 days (see Brad's excellent list of verses). We need to beware of dogmatism about what all this involved. To question 'where Jesus' body was in the meantime' is foolish. We are dealing with One Who is Spirit being with One Who is Spirit. And we have no real idea what His risen flesh consisted of. (While He could eat He could also go through walls). We are dealing with the undefinable. Best wishes |
