Which event describes Jesus' return to Heaven forty days after His Resurrection?

• A. Last Supper
• B. Genesis
• C. Ascension
• D. Covenant

Answer: (C)

The event being described is the Ascension—the moment Jesus returns to Heaven after His Resurrection, occurring forty days later. After appearing to His followers and teaching them, He is taken up before their eyes, and a cloud hides Him from their sight. This moment is recorded in Acts and Luke, and it signals Jesus’ exaltation at the Father’s side and the start of the disciples’ mission in the world, with the Spirit to come at Pentecost.

That’s why this is the best answer: the other options refer to different things. The Last Supper was the final meal Jesus shared with the disciples before His crucifixion, not His ascent. Genesis is the first book of the Bible, not an event. Covenant is a term for God’s promises, not a specific event in Jesus’ earthly ministry.
