My question is: If Jesus came back to life after being crucified, when did he really die? Even though I was raised in a Christian tradition, this never occurred to me. Like, he's not walking around today, two thousand years old. If he really did die (and isn't walking around as a two thousand year old), come we don't honor that day? We celebrate his birth and his first death, why not his second death?
This was puzzling me, so I googled it.
It turns out, he ascended into Heaven forty days after he was resurrected.
I can't believe I didn't remember this part, but in fairness, it was never marked out as a holiday. It they talked about it at church, it must have been just a regular Sunday and I tuned out. It's not like people get together and celebrate the Ascension.
I don't really think that is fair that he was sent to heaven forty days after he died. I mean, if he bothered to be resurrected, you would think he would spend more time hanging out with the his friends and family instead of taking off so soon.
