Man's Spirit & His Glorified Body

Man’s Spirit & His Glorified Body​

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it [heaven] we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform [remodel] our lowly body to be like His glorious body...” (Phil. 3:20-21).

A glorified, transformed body is one that is no longer subject to aging, illnesses, diseases, deterioration, or death. Apparently, this is the kind of body our Lord currently has. At His death, His physical body underwent a transformation, a glorification. And it was this living form that appeared to His disciples on the mountain, alongside the living forms of Moses and Elijah.

Moses and Elijah, two servants among the greatest, now possess glorified, transformed bodies. And those bodies are very much alive somewhere in God’s domain, for they appeared with Jesus centuries after they departed this planet. They are not sleeping. Nor was Samuel sleeping when God allowed a medium to “call him up” to give King Saul a message of death (1 Sam., chapter 28). He was very much alive.

My spirit and your spirit, the real you and me, will be clothed with some form of glorified body at death to await the resurrection, at which time we will receive our eternal body. “But God gives it a body as He has chosen...It is sown [buried] a natural [biological] body; it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Cor. 15:35-54). Amen and glory to our Awesome Creator!​

Amen!

I am surprised how often the premise of a 1 to 1 correlation between the body buried and the body raised is disputed.


Do you think Jesus could have walked through a wall prior to Calvary?

Do you think Jesus could have walked through a wall prior to Calvary?

Yes, just as He walked on water prior to Calvery.

I agree.

Since the body Jesus had could walk through walls prior to Calvary, what was transformed (you don't have to describe everything; just give me an example of transformation the body of Jesus experienced as a consequence of resurrection)
Did this body that could walk through walls before Calvary age?

Following His resurrection, He possessed a glorified body - somewhat different from his physical body. No more comments at this time. My Internet Service has been off 3 days. It's now back on. Got a lot to get caught-up on.​
