Descent in the Bible - a Christian perspective


If Jesus ascended into heaven, it follows that He must have descended in the first place. Christians believe that through his death on the cross, Christ actually descended into hell, and was raised up afterward to take his place on the throne of heaven.

Ephesians 4:8-10 (KJV)

 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”
