The ascension confirms the fact of the resurrection “to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God”. (Acts 1:1) The Lord Jesus Christ did not ascend into heaven until He proved the fact of His resurrection as Saint Paul said in his epistle to the Corinthians 15: 14,15 “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up.” The faith of the disciples in the resurrection of the Lord is very clear, our teacher Saint Peter in his first sermon says “This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses” (Acts 2 :32) The second point is that the Lord remained for forty days in order to speak to His disciples about the heavenly matters I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. (John 16: 12) which are the things related to the heavenly kingdom and it was difficult for the disciples to realize those things before the resurrection which opened their eyes and made the difficult things possible to understand. During this period the Lord Jesus explained all the things related to His church and He gave them the sacraments of the church which were kept by the tradition although they were not written in the Gospel. The Lord had also to tell them about His second coming and about the Holy Spirit and His work in them. ١٧٢٨ ١٩ بشنس٢٧ مايو٢٠١٢ الصعود عيد . ) : ( . " " ) : ( . . . " . " . ": . ". : " . " . » .

The Feast of the Ascension � The church celebrated last Thursday the Feast of the Ascension which is the

ascension of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ after forty days from the

Resurrection. Why did the Lord ascend and why was it after forty days and not

directly after the Resurrection? What did our Lord do during the forty days between

resurrection and ascension?

� When the Lord Jesus Christ rose, no one saw Him rising. Meanwhile, the Jews

called a rumor that His disciples came and stole His body (Matthew 28 :11).

� “This saying is commonly reported among the Jews” (Matthew 28 :11) means

that people believed it. If the Lord Jesus ascended directly after resurrection, then

that doubt would be fact and could be believed also by the disciples, that was the

reason why the Lord asked Thomas to put his hands in the wounds in order to

believe and have faith.

� The Lord appeared also many times during that period: once to Mary and the others,

once to the two disciples who were travelling to Emmaus, and many times to the

disciples. He ate with them. The ascension confirms the fact of the resurrection “to

whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible

proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things

pertaining to the kingdom of God”. (Acts 1:1)

� The Lord Jesus Christ did not ascend into heaven until He proved the fact of His

resurrection as Saint Paul said in his epistle to the Corinthians 15: 14,15 “And if

Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God

that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up.”

� The faith of the disciples in the resurrection of the Lord is very clear, our teacher

Saint Peter in his first sermon says “This Jesus God has raised up, of which we

are all witnesses” (Acts 2 :32)

� The second point is that the Lord remained for forty days in order to speak to His

disciples about the heavenly matters I still have many things to say to you, but

you cannot bear them now. (John 16: 12) which are the things related to the

heavenly kingdom and it was difficult for the disciples to realize those things before

the resurrection which opened their eyes and made the difficult things possible to

understand.

� During this period the Lord Jesus explained all the things related to His church and

He gave them the sacraments of the church which were kept by the tradition

although they were not written in the Gospel.

� The Lord had also to tell them about His second coming and about the Holy Spirit

and His work in them.
