Description: The Ascension is interpreted as the culmination of the Mystery of the Incarnation, in that it not only marked the completion of Jesus' physical presence among his apostles, but consummated the union of God and man when Jesus ascended in his glorified human body to sit at the right hand of God the Father. The Ascension and the Transfiguration both figure prominently in the...doctrine of theosis. The bodily Ascension into heaven is also understood as the final token of Christ's two natures: divine and human. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascension_of_Jesus
