Summary
The Ascension (L'Ascension) Mark 16:19-20 Luke 24:50-53 John 21:15-19 Acts 1:1-11

Artist's Note: Jesus' Ascension into Heaven completes the “original idea of Creation,” which was “redemption through Christ”; now humanity, too, is permitted to share in divine glory. “The cloud which ‘received Christ from sight’ is like the curtain which falls at the close of a drama.

You can see Jesus Christ's footprints in the foreground--imprinted in the earth as proof of His presence on Earth--and in Heaven.

One is left pondering what this means personally and what action should be taken to help everyone in our path to know, love, and serve God on earth so we can enjoy eternity with Him in Heaven.
