Notes

Luke 24:50–53

Luke also tells about the ascension of Jesus (his return to heaven) in Acts 1:1–11. For Luke, this event showed that God had:

vindicated Jesus (proved that he was right),
exalted him (lifted him to the highest place), and
seated him at his right hand as Messiah (God’s chosen king) and Lord (the one with full authority; Acts 2:24–36).

From this place of glory and authority in heaven, Jesus leads and guides his church.
