ascension

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'last act of jesus' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'son in case uncertain?' is the wordplay.
'uncertain?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'uncertain' mean this).
'son'+'in'+'case'='sonincase'
'sonincase' anagrammed gives 'ASCENSION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascension that I've seen before include "religious feast" , "Canonise on the way up to heaven" , "distance in hours measured by this, right?" , "Canonises on Christ's way to heaven" , "Island in the South Atlantic" .)
