(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Ahora bien, piénsalo: si Jesús subió al cielo, eso significa que primero tuvo que bajar, ¿verdad? Él descendió hasta los lugares más bajos de la tierra.
Jesús primero descendió a la tierra antes de ascender al cielo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the context of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, written around 60 AD while he was imprisoned in Rome, this verse is part of a broader discussion on Christ's victory over sin and death, as well as the distribution of spiritual gifts to the church. Paul draws from Old Testament passages like Psalm 68 to emphasize that Jesus' ascension to heaven was preceded by his descent to the lower parts of the earth, which scholars interpret as referring to his incarnation, death, or descent to proclaim victory over the realm of the dead. This highlights the complete scope of Christ's redemptive work in bridging the gap between God and humanity.
