2. The Ascension of Our Lord
As Jesus blessed them He parted from them and was taken up to heaven. (Lk 24:44-53) ...
  1. Jesus remains on earth forty days after His Resurrection to prove He has risen.
  2. He sends the apostles to preach the gospel, and promises to be with them forever.
  3. He will not leave them orphans, but will send the Holy Spirit to enlighten and strengthen them.
  4. Jesus proceeds to Mt. Olivet accompanied by His Mother and the apostles and disciples.
  5. Extending His pierced hands over all in a last blessing, He ascends into heaven.
  6. As He ascends a cloud takes Him from their sight.
  7. Jesus ascends to take His place at the right hand of the Father.
  8. What joy there must be amid the angels at the triumphant entry of Jesus.
  9. The wounds in His glorified body are an endless plea before the Father on our behalf.
  10. The disciples leave Mt. Olivet and "return to Jerusalem with great joy."
