Resurrection

Faith Q&A › Metropolitan Youssef › Our Lord and the Faith › Resurrection

The question

Where was our Lord Jesus after the Glorious Resurrection when He was not with His Disciples?

The answer

The Lord Jesus Christ resurrected in a Glorified Body, in which He entered heaven and passed through closed gates. He, through His Glorified Body, was able to rise up to Heaven in defiance of the laws of earthly gravity. When, God willing, we ourselves resurrect, we shall in the same manner that He did, be resurrected in glorious bodies.

The Lord is everywhere. He is limitless. He is in Heaven, on earth, and in between the two. No place is void of Him, for He is in Heaven where it is said that He goes up to, and He is always on earth, from which He goes up to Heaven, and which He never leaves.
