"It's not like only his Spirit went, because his body would be somewhere right? I'm sure his body didn't fall form the sky a few days later. But if it IS in heaven, and since we humans will only have the spirit going to heaven, would Jesus' body be the only physical body in heaven?"Interesting question! Let's read Acts 1:9 for clues: "And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight." Jesus' body was LIFTED UP, indicating Jesus retains a physical human body as he ascended to heaven. Acts 1:11 also tells us that Jesus will someday return in the same physical body. This is what is known as the Doctrine of the Incarnation: The eternal God took human nature on himself and became a person who is both fully God and fully man. These two verses show that he will remain fully God and fully man forever.
In regards to what happens to our bodies when we go to heaven, read Phil 3:20-21: “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.”
We don't just go to heaven as spirits! Jesus will return one day and give us new glorified resurrected bodies. Think of a seed that is buried in the ground and dies. After a while, it will emerge as something more glorious and beautiful than we could ever imagine. When a Christian dies, we too are buried but likewise spring forth with a glorified resurrected body. The difference between our body now and our future resurrected body is that our body now is mortal and can be subject to sin, but our glorified body is not. It cannot be subject to sin or suffering.
