THE NEW JERUSALEM #26

OUR GLORIFIED BODY ( PART 10 )

Since our bodies will be changed, will we recognize each other in heaven?

Indeed our appearance will change because God will give us new bodies similar to Jesus' resurrection body.

Our glorified bodies will never grow old or tired, nor will they ever experience pain or suffering or death. As the Bible says, "For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:52).

So will we still know each other?

At the Transfiguration, Jesus was transformed into His heavenly glory before the eyes of some of His disciples. The Bible says "His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light" (Matthew 17:2). 

And yet His disciples still recognized Him, and so did Moses and Elijah who came from Heaven to speak with Him.

Abba Father, 

the Bible indicates we will know each other more fully than we do now. The Apostle Paul declared, "Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known" 

(1 Corinthians 13:12).
