What is the first ascension? After Jesus died, He went to a place of torment, hell for simplicity. Why did Jesus go to hell if He was perfect and never sinned? Jesus went to hell because He took the punishment for the sins of everyone in the world. After Jesus was in hell He ascended into heaven.
This ascension is known as the first ascension of Jesus. It happened after Jesus conquered death, or hell, and became the only person to take punishment and overcome it. He declared His power over evil and began ascending into heaven.
The first ascension serves as a powerful testament to the divinity of Christ and reaffirms his role as our Savior and Redeemer. Through this miraculous event, Jesus demonstrated not only His authority over life and death but also showcased the fulfillment of ancient prophecies that foretold his ultimate return to glory.
This ascension happened after Jesus rose from the dead. We know this because Jesus himself told Mary that He was still ascending and not to embrace him (John 20:7). Watch the sermon to learn more!
