THE NEW JERUSALEM #17
OUR GLORIFIED BODIES ( PART 1 )
Our earthly bodies are weak in many ways. Not only are we subject to the natural laws of gravity and time/space, but we are also weakened by sin and its temptations. Hence we age and are subject to the ravages of sin - disease, decay, death, and the devil.
But our glorified bodies will be empowered by the Spirit that owns us, and weakness will be no more.
Just as our earthly bodies are perfectly suited to life on earth, our resurrected bodies will be the same for life in heaven.
We will have form and solidity to the touch, yet with no hindrance to travel (John 20:19, 26; Luke 24:39). We will be able to enjoy food, but will not be driven to it by the necessity for nourishment nor fleshly desire (Luke 24:40–43
Like Moses and Elijah, we will be able to bathe in the glory of our Maker in the fellowship of His dear Son (Matthew 17:2–3; Philippians 3:10)
Abba Father, the bodies we inherit will be more like what You had originally made us be, rather than what we now abide in through the infirmity and weakness of our sinful flesh. We will be glorified with Christ, and that glory will extend to the bodies we will inhabit.
