-Reasurrection
Overcoming of sin and death
Initiated His glorification
Glory would not be fuly accomplished until Ascention
-Final days before Ascention
Teaching and instructing the Apolsiles
Confirming their faith
Prepared them to receive the Holy Spirit
-Ascention
Completed His glorification
Ascended into Heaven Body and Soul
Indicates His Kingdom with have no end
Opened the Gates of Heaven
Gives His followers hope
-one day all that have remained faithful will be with Him in Heaven
He said that it was necessary for Him to return to His Father
-allowed the Holy Spirit to come down to the Apostiles
give the Apostiles the graces needed to lead the Church
Created a relationship founded on a life of faith, hope, and love
-prayer and the Sacraments
be in close relationship with Him
-Descent of the Holy Spirit
Made Christ more accessible than He was in His public life
-didn't have to be physically with Him
-could now receive Christ through the Sacraments whenever we wanted
I have outlines the section of the Ascention in Chapter 4. This is a list of facts that happened during the time of Christ's Ascention. But it also answers the question of why Jesus had to leave again after His death. I have not given my opinion of what I think about the Ascention of Jesus. I have analyses it.
