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...

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.

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.

And you will have forever to savor the pleasures that God has in store for y...
