Jesus' whereabouts after Resurrection?

[DaleMeyn]

Where was Jesus after the Resurrection, before the Ascension? Only 7 or 8 encounters between him and disciples are recorded, he occasionally appeared in their midst, spoke, taught, then disappeared again. Most of those 40 days, they didn’t see him, apparently. Many Protestant writers maintain that because he was resurrected in a spiritual body, he was invisibly present, like the angels or Holy Spirit, only making himself manifest when it suited him. However, the term “spiritual body” doesn’t mean a spirit “body”, such as an angel might assume, but a fully human, fleshy body, the body however being entirely docile and obedient to the spiritual soul. Thus, the spiritual body is immortal, free of concupiscence, hunger, etc., and not subject to limitations of time and space. I recently heard one of our priests, in his Ascension Sunday (!) homily, say that between appearances, he was in Heaven, that the Ascension 40 days after Easter was simply his final ascension. Any knowledgeable, substantive answers? Dale.

Good question. After reading this it seems no one knows for sure, any one else?

It was my understanding the ascension was the final time man would see Jesus on this earth - until the Last Day.

Interesting how He didn’t want Mary Magdalene to touch him before the ascension, yet He allowed Thomas to.

Do I have my sequence of events mixed up?
He died
He rose
He visited the Apostles and others
He ascended
He sent the Holy Spirit

So near as I can tell between the resurrection and the ascension there’s nothing to say he couldn’t have been moving in and out of heaven between visitations to the writers…for all we know He could have been visiting other people who a) didn’t write things down or b) whose writings we haven’t discovered yet

But somewhere I heard or read or maybe it’s in His final words … but the ascension had a note of finality to it, and if I recall correctly the way Paul speaks to others seems to indicate Christ would only come back one more time.

I haven’t looked any of this up, just jotting down my understanding over time…I could be entirely off the mark.

I think your best bet for info on Jesus whereabouts between his Resurrection and Ascension besides those mentioned in the Bible would probably be some private revelation. Perhaps there is something about it in Anne Catherine Emmerich’s 4-volume work, Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations.
