Article 6 “HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER”
659
“So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into
heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.”531 Christ’s body
was glorified at the moment of his Resurrection, as proved by the new and
supernatural properties it subsequently and permanently enjoys.532 But
during the forty days when he eats and drinks familiarly with his disciples and
teaches them about the kingdom, his glory remains veiled under the appearance
of ordinary humanity.533 Jesus’ final apparition ends with the
irreversible entry of his humanity into divine glory, symbolized by the cloud
and by heaven, where he is seated from that time forward at God’s right
hand.534 Only in a wholly exceptional and unique way would Jesus show
himself to Paul “as to one untimely born”, in a last apparition that
established him as an apostle.535
