Did Jesus Leave His Humanity Behind When He Ascended to Heaven?

25 min

The eternal word of the Father, the second person of the holy Trinity, assumed humanity for us. For our salvation, he came down from heaven, assumed humanity from the womb of the virgin Mary, and then suffered and died in that humanity for our sake so that our sins might be forgiven. As he rose again from the dead, it is in that humanity in which he ascended to heaven. – Pastor Adriel Sanchez
