The Ascension of Jesus the Christ

The Ascension gives authority to JESUS who conquered sin and death and now resides at the right hand of the FATHER. 

That same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead will raise us to be with them for eternity.

The final sign that Jesus was the Son of God is that He was received up into heaven to be seated at the right hand (the position of authority and power) of God. The NKJV Study Bible 

The disciples’ doubt, fear, and sadness is replaced with joy after seeing the risen Jesus. Faithlife Study Bible
