Jan 4, 2022 · Jesus is still human, and He has a human body in heaven right now. His body is different, however; earthly human flesh is perishable, but heavenly bodies are imperishable (1 Corinthians 15:50). Jesus has a physical body, with a difference. His resurrected body is designed with eternity in view. First Corinthians 15:35–49 describes what the ...
Aug 16, 2020 · Admittedly, there isn't much to go on. What we do have is this; Jesus had a body after being raised - 'flesh and bones', he said Luke 24:39. This body cannot die. He can eat and drink - though we would assume, based on him now having immortal life that it isn't necessary.
By stating that a spirit does not have "flesh and bones," Jesus emphasizes the physicality of His resurrection body. This distinction is vital in countering early heresies that denied the physical resurrection of Jesus, affirming the Christian doctrine that the resurrection involves a transformation of the physical body, not merely a spiritual continuation.
Dec 8, 2022 · There is an intriguing clue about the significance of Jesus' resurrected flesh and bones in Ephesians 5:30-31, which deliberately does not mention his blood, because the context is post-resurrection. It would first be necessary to note the disputed aspect of the second part of verse 30 and what mention of Christians being members of Christ's body, "of his flesh and of his bones" signifies.
- Job 19:25-27

- 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Notice what Job already knew: a. that his Redeemer lives, b. that his Redeemer will stand on the earth, and c. when that happens, Job will see God with his own eyes. Job is talking about the physical here: My eyes! My flesh! I will see God! And all this will happen when my Redeemer, who lives, stands upon the earth. You will see God as truly as you...
The redemption of the body is the hope in which you were saved. The great purpose of God is not to save a part of you (your soul) but the whole of you (body/soul unity). Christ made you (body and soul), and he will redeem you (body and soul). He will do it in this order; soul now, body later. All that God has made is good and all that God has made ...
a. The human body is described as ‘lowly’
At its strongest and most developed, the human body is fragile. Even if you are really fit, and you get hit by a truck, you will be in trouble. Our bodies are fragile. C. S. Lewis says, “When you are learning to ride they give you unimpressive horses. Only when you are ready for it are you allowed an animal that will gallop and jump” Wait till you see the upgrade. Even if you’re impressed now. You ain’t seen nothing yet!
b. Your body will be ‘transformed’ by the Lord Jesus Christ and by his power
The resurrection of the body is a truth that cannot be grasped apart from the work of Christ and the power of Christ. The credibility of this great truth is that Christ demonstrated his power to raise his people by rising himself! Every Christian says, “Yes, the Savior has given me a new heart!” He will also give you a new body. It will be the completion of his redeeming work in your life.
c. Your resurrection body will be like Christ’s glorious body
That means it will be a physical body. You will not be a disembodied ghost or spirit in the new creation. The reason you won’t spend eternity floating on the clouds is that bodies don’t float, right? Jesus said, “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”(Luke 24:39). Flesh and bones! This is a physical body! Jesus is talking about his own resurrection body. In terms of appearance, Jesus’s resurrection b...
The transformation of the body you have now, into the body you will have, will be instantaneous. All believers will receive this gift at the same time. The new earth will be better than the earth we have now. The resurrection body will be better than the body you have now. And you will have forever to savor the pleasures that God has in store for y...
The Scriptures teach that God is spirit. Jesus said: “God is spirit” . By nature, God is a spirit-being. This is also known as God’s “spirituality.” In whatever way a person defines spirit, the definition does not include a body of flesh and bones similar to what we have. This can be seen in an encounter Jesus had with His disciples ...

Mar 13, 2024 · The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important event in history, providing irrefutable evidence that Jesus is who He claimed to be – the Son of God. The resurrection was not only the supreme validation of His deity; it also validated the Scriptures, which foretold His coming and resurrection. Moreover, it authenticated Christ ...
