Summary
- Jesus remained on Earth for 40 days after his resurrection before ascending to heaven.
- During this time, he provided proof of his resurrection, taught about the kingdom of God, and commissioned his disciples.
- The purpose of these 40 days was to solidify the faith of the disciples, prepare them for the Holy Spirit, and fulfill biblical prophecy.
- The four Gospels differ in details but agree on the 40-day period and its significance for the disciples’ mission.
