When our body begins to wear out, it is comforting to know that sometime it will be replaced with a new one. That was the reminder I received in an Easter day devotional in "Walking With Jesus" a devotional publication by David Jeremiah. Since there are many of my readers who, like me, can probably also use this reminder, I have decided to share this with you on this Easter morn.
"Something remarkable happened to the crucified body of Jesus Christ early on Easter Sunday. In a flash of glory, His body was totally transformed. It wasn't simply resuscitated. Some kind of electrical glory supercharged it, and when Jesus opened His eyes, He had an incorruptible body. It was the same body but now it was glorified and eternalized. No more pain. No more aging. No more decay or corruption. It was equipped for life on both earth and in heaven.
According to Philippians 3, God will transform our earthly bodies to be like the glorified body of Jesus. The resurrection is more than resuscitation. It's supernatural transformation of our bodies. We will be raised incorruptible. We'll be equipped to live on earth or in heaven. Our bodies will be mature but not old, responsive but not sick, natural and yet supernatural.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ provides the proof, the provision and the pattern of our own resurrection. We will share the glory of Easter with Him!
Rejoice! Our best days are ahead of us!
