As many british citizens are probably unaware, today is ascension day. Many other european countries have national holidays with parades through cities and festivals. But not Britain.
Ascension day is when Jesus Christ physically ascended into heaven to sit at God’s right hand. 40 days ago He was resurrected according to God’s promise. The ascension was physical because Jesus’ body was resurrected. The spirit doesn’t die, nor does the soul, so only the body can be resurrected from the dead. Therefore the ascension must also be physical.
Even though the resurrection was phsyical, during His time on earth between Easter and when He ascended, He appeared as different people, showing that even though he was still in a physical body, he had power over matter and energy to change how he looked.
