When did Christ ascend into heaven? Christ ascended, body and soul, into heaven on Ascension Day, forty days after His Resurrection.
And it came to pass as he blessed them, that he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. (Luke 24:51)
Why did Christ remain on earth forty days after His Resurrection? Christ remained on earth forty days after His Resurrection to prove that He had truly risen from the dead and to complete the instruction of the apostles.
To them also he showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs during the forty days appearing to them and speaking of the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3)
