Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 108.
(Youcat
answer) Because death is now no longer the end of everything, joy and hope came
into the world. Now that death “no longer has dominion” (Rom 6:9) over Jesus,
it has no more power over us, either, who belong to Jesus.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 665)
Christ's Ascension marks the definitive entrance of Jesus' humanity into God's
heavenly domain, whence he will come again (cf. Acts 1:11); this humanity in
the meantime hides him from the eyes of men (cf. Col 3:3).
Reflecting and meditating
(CCC Comment)
(CCC 668)
"Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and
of the living" (Rom 14:9). Christ's Ascension into heaven signifies his
participation, in his humanity, in God's power and authority. Jesus Christ is
Lord: he possesses all power in heaven and on earth. He is "far above all
rule and authority and power and dominion", for the Father "has put
all things under his feet" (Eph 1:20-22). Christ is Lord of the cosmos and
of history. In him human history and indeed all creation are "set
forth" and transcendently fulfilled (Eph 1:10; cf. 4:10; 1 Cor 15:24,
27-28).
