What Happened in the 40 Days Between Jesus’ Resurrection and Ascension?

Have you ever wondered about what happened after the resurrection of Jesus? Where did He go? What did He do? Today's topic from our question-based summer sermon series focuses on the question: "What happened in the 40 days between Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension?" While we can certainly dig into the physical actions reported in the Bible that Jesus took during those 40 days, we don't want to miss the long game of what Jesus was accomplishing on a more broad scale in fulfilling God's plan of salvation. To do this, we will step into the very beginning of the book of Acts to get a picture of what Jesus did during the 40 days after His resurrection and how that plays into God's plan of redemption of sinners by grace through faith in Christ.
