Life Forever in Glory

 

     One day we will meet Jesus face to face. Our bodies will become immortal. Did you know, after the resurrection, Jesus ate with His disciples? Did you know that they could touch Him and see Him? And did you know He could move from place to place instantly? Walk through walls as if they did not exist? Imagine that!

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2

     Thomas or “doubting Thomas” as he became known, insisted on touching Jesus. He had a body different from ours, but made with flesh and bones.

“Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see. A ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.” Luke 24:39

     One day all of our suffering will be over. No more grief, no more disease, no more anger or bitterness, no more addiction and hopelessness. And our bodies will live forever in joy.

So, it will be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable. It is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor. It is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness. It is raised in power. It is sown a natural body. It is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 15:42-44

     We will be like Him, a new body, raised in power, in glory, imperishable. Keep this tucked away throughout the rest of your life. We are raised with Christ. Do not fear death.

Lord,

One day we will live forever in glory with You. Give us hope each day on earth as we share the truth of Jesus and His resurrection.

Amen
