THE NEW JERUSALEM #19 

OUR GLORIFIED BODY ( PART 3 )

Will our glorified bodies resemble the Resurrected Body of our Risen Saviour?

The Bible tells us that our bodies will be like the body Jesus had after His resurrection (Phil. 3:21)(1 Cor.15: 48-49)(1 Jn.3:2 ).

Let us review what Jesus did with His Resurrected Body?

Jesus did the following activities:

1. Walked (Lk    24:15),

2. Talked(Lk 24:19),

3. Ate (Lk. 24:42-44),

4.  Was able to move from one place to another instantly (Lk. 24:36 )

5. Had the ability to pass through solid objects (Jn.20:19)

6. Could vanish from sight (Lk.24:31)

In addition, our new bodies will:

be made of flesh and bone ( Lk.24:39 )

be powerful, not weak(1 Cor 15:43)

be imperishable (1 Cor 15:42)

never die (1 Cor 15:54)(Lk 20:36)

eat during the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Rev 22:2) and drink(Mt 26:29)(Lk 22:30)

Abba Father, You will prepare the perfect body for us. This is a moment that Paul eagerly anticipated (Rom.8:23) and that should be a great comfort for each of us. 

ROMANS 8:23( NIV)

23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 

groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
