Which term refers to the event of Jesus ascending to heaven after the Resurrection?

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

Answer: (A)

The event being named is the Ascension. It refers to Jesus rising up to heaven after his Resurrection, a moment described as Jesus being taken up to the Father and blessing his followers before he sends the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. This happens after the Resurrection, typically placed about forty days later, and marks his return to heaven rather than his initial rise from the dead.

Genesis is the name of the Bible's first book, focusing on creation. The Last Supper is the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, during which he instituted the Eucharist. Covenant refers to a formal divine agreement or promise between God and humanity, not a specific event in Jesus’ post-Resurrection timeline.
