The Christian doctrine of the Ascension holds that Jesus ascended to heaven in the presence of his Eleven Apostles following his resurrection, and that in heaven he sits at the right hand of God the Father. "He was lifted up." This is the passive form of the Greek epairo and means "to lift up" as in the hoisting of a sail (Acts 27:40). The ascension was an act of exaltation and an affirmation of Christ's person.

Christ's before ascension gave the promise of the Holy Spirit and instructions regarding the purpose and mission of the church.
