Bible Question:
In Mark 16:19, ...and sat on the right hand of God. Is Jesus sitting in flesh or spirit. Also during the ascension he left the earth in glorified flesh, but did he enter heaven in flesh or spirit. |
Bible Answer: Hi Santee01, Jesus is the God-man. He ascended as both God and man. 1 Tim. 2:5 says: "For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," Reagrding the nature of His Ascension, "Great Doctrines of the Bible" says: IT WAS A BODILY AND VISIBLE ASCENSION. (Acts 1:9–11; Luke 24:51). It was the same Christ they had known in life, only glorified, who had tarried with them now for the space of forty days, who had delivered unto them certain commandments, and whose hands were even then outstretched in blessing that they saw slowly vanishing from their view up into the heavens. It was a body of flesh and bones, not flesh and blood. So will be our translation (1 Cor. 15:51, 52). In summary, Orthodoxy generally accepts the fact that Christ is still both God and man.
