The Ascension of Lord Jesus Christ

In His divinity, He is everywhere; He does not ascend nor descend. In the Liturgy of Saint Gregory we say “And You ascended into the heavens in the body.” This ascension is evidence that His Glorified Body is not subject to the earth’s gravitational laws and also of His Divinity. He ascended before His disciples as they were watching. This scene strengthened their faith because the Lord not only resurrected using His Divine power, but He also ascended into heaven in front of them.
