Jesus Christ, Ascension of

The ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven is documented in many scriptures both in the Bible and in the modern day scriptures—the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. In Acts 1:10-11 we read: “And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Also in Luke 24:51, we read: “And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.” We know that the Savior ascended into Heaven and will return in like manner.
