Ascension of Jesus

The Ascension by John Singleton Copley is an oil in canvas painting that depicts the ascension of Jesus to heaven. Copley derived his idea whilst in Rome as he studied Raphael’s Transfiguration of Christ. Copley’s work was at the heart of American Neoclassicism which was born out of the birth of the American republic. The Ascension differed greatly from Copley’s usual work of portraits, however maintains similar characteristics one would expect from work of this time. American Neoclassism has traits that stem from the ancient Romans. Thus, this shows correlations in with Copley 's work. Copley’s interpretation of the Ascension clearly orientates around Christ as the centre figure. Christ 's centrality is combined with a sense of awe and wonder which is created by using…

The Holy Spirit because of Jesus’ sacrifice is present with humanity in a manner not even the leaders of Israel had. Often the third person of the trinity, the Holy Spirit is not talked about enough. This should not be the case because Christ’s resurrection, ascension and the Holy Spirit have distinct relationship to one another.

resurrection of Christ's body and his soul is really real. His body was raised from the dead. Jesus did not rise as a spirit only but as a whole person, body, and soul (Bloesch, 2004). Unlike the other human, His body and soul rose completely. This shows that Christ defeated death. The resurrection of Jesus in his human nature indicates a perfection that is getting raised to a higher degree (Berkhof, 2015). Humans will gather in the same state as Jesus was. There will be a change in the believer…

The theme in John’s Gospel, Christology from Above is the study of Jesus Christ. The theme explores Jesus Christ and tries to understand who He is. Also the gospel of John is interested in Jesus’s identity and mainly who He is.

One quote from John’s Gospel that relates to this theme is, "Jesus said to her,…

Theophilus, whose name means “beloved by God”. Also Acts picks up right where Luke 24 ends, with the ascension. When Jesus ascended it marked the completion of his ministry on earth. Verse 1 Acts 1 and Luke 24 have much overlap between them. “Without the book of Acts the story of Jesus would be incomplete. Afterall, he didn’t come merely to save individuals to get them to heaven, but to create a community that would carry out God’s kingdom.” Luke tells the story of Jesus and Acts tells how…

Was Jesus Really The Messiah Jesus has been called an imposter [simply a good man], and others believe Him to be the Messiah; so, is Jesus the son of Joseph or the Divine Son of God. The fact that Jesus lived needs no proof, but if He was the son of Joseph, then He was simply a man; nonetheless, if only a man, why has there not been through all the years another man His equal? Fact is, if He is not Deity, He is unexplainable. If He was just a man, the claims He made were not true and that…

To this idea belongs a literary forms of which many concepts or represented in Luke 24: 49-53 and Acts 1: 9-12. The departing figures testament the earth bound scenario, the transporting cloud and the interpreting angels. This passage sounds direct echoes of the accounts of Elijah’s ascension in 2King 2: 9-13 and together with the third Gospel passages showing Elijah parallels, may attest Luke’s depth to Christians circles that celebrated Jesus’ earthly ministry as the climax Israel’s colorful…
