12-4-11 New Body

Today's Reading: 1 Cor 15-16

1 Corinthians 15:50–52
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.



Our new body is not an earthly body — it is heavenly. It is not a mortal body — it is immortal. It is a body which will enable us to live in the presence and glory of God. And yet it will be our body — just as a plant is related to the seed from which it grows.
Human beings are, like Adam, made from ‘dust’ — the physical stuff of this earth. The risen Christ, however, has the spiritual body of heaven. In our earthly life we have a natural, physical body like Adam’s. In our heavenly life we will have a glorious spiritual body like Christ’s.



Tomorrow's Reading: 2 Cor 1-4
