The Glorious Body

Dear friends, People’s attitudes towards their bodies can be quite diverse: from those who are embarrassed, to those who are proud. From those who hide their appearance behind excessive clothing to those who glory in their display of flesh. Within the ancient world, and still amongst “super spiritual” people, there has been the desire to be free of our bodily limitations. Yet Christians boldly proclaim the resurrection of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, and more than that, of our future hope of the resurrection of our own bodies. But the obvious question comes about the nature of our future resurrection bodies—will I be still limited by my imperfections, or at the geriatric age? Paul was addressing the doubters in 1 Corinthians 15 when he spoke of our glorious body which will be like unto Jesus. I hope you enjoy this discussion on this vital teaching of Christians about the resurrection. Yours, Phillip Freely available, supported by generosity.
