In John 6:60-62 Jesus challenged his disciples when they were offended with His teaching. He asked them, "What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?" Just like He told them, a day came that He ascended after he had shown himself for forty days after His resurrection. After sharing instructions about the kingdom of God to the Apostles, right before their eyes Jesus levitated into heaven slowly until the clouds received Him. Act 1:9 declares, "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight". They had never seen or heard anything like this. It was an event with no historic reference of comparison. For instance, Elijah and Enoch left this world alive but in a quick vanish style. Elijah got whisked away by a whirlwind. Enoch just vanished and no one saw him. However, Jesus did not vanish, he left slowly while they all gazed on Him. He took time, with no whirlwind, so that at least the 120 disciples would see Him and have any doubts cleared off their minds.

Jesus once said to the Jews, "You are from below; I am from above" (John 8:23) and His ascension confirmed this origin. This was a confirmation of His deity. Jesus Christ is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20). He was the first and only one who left this world alive in such a way of levitation. His Ascension further confirms to us that there is an abode in heaven and as He said we will also be there. He declared when He prayed for us in John 17:24, "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world". Heaven, the abode of God, is not fallacy, its truth.
