Happy Easter, sir. I want to ask a question. By
Jesus being alive bodily, I know he rose from the dead, had a body, and went up
to heaven. Does it mean he still wears that physical body he had here? Also,
what kind of body is that? Is it this one that can be sick or corrupt, or did
he receive a different kind of body when he rose from the dead?
His body was transformed when He rose from
the dead. Php 3:20-21(ESV)
the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his
glorious body. That is why He is referred to as the first
fruits from the dead. 1Cor 15:20 (ESV) But in fact Christ has been raised from the
dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. Others, like Lazarus, rose from the dead with the same weak mortal body
that had died again. 1Cor
15:42-44(ESV) So is it with the resurrection of the
dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is 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. Jesus rose with a body that entered the heavens and is immortal. Jesus needed
to have a resurrection body to return to heaven as a man. He remains the
perfect God and perfect man today. 1Cor 15:50(ESV)
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,
nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. This resurrection body is a transformed body. It cannot be sick,
corrupt, or die. It has put off mortality and is now immortal. That is where we
are headed. 1Jn
3:2-3 ESV) Beloved,
we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we
know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he
is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
Wow, thank you so much sir. Does it mean that this
transformed body can still be terrestrial?
Like, they could touch Jesus after His resurrection?
Yes. Lk
24:38-39, 41-43 (ESV) See my hands and my feet, that it is I
myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you
see that I have.” And while they still disbelieved for joy and
were marveling, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him
a piece of broiled fish, and he took it
and ate before them.
Wow, amazing. Thank you for this insight, sir. I
never thought about it like that. What if they make the argument, "Why
should we believe when it is your bible that said it. They could have made it
up?"
When the disciples preached the resurrection
of Jesus in Jerusalem for about 7 years the simplest way to refute it was to
produce the body. The tomb is still empty. It has been over 2,000 years. So
many have fiercely contested the truth but have not been able to see any other
conclusion. The tomb is empty still. We are not making it up. They might as
well say, since disease treatments are written in medical journals, maybe
doctors are making that up.
Sir, I don't understand what you mean in the last
paragraph of this write-up
Who else would write on Jesus' resurrection
but Christians? Where else would you find it but the Bible? Anyone who believes
Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again from the dead is a believer
Oh, I see. It is clearer to me now
