What a privilege it is to connect with subscribers about the mighty acts of our Savior. Nothing is greater than His resurrection from death. This event foreshadows our own resurrection from death in the first resurrection at His second coming. “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order; Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.” (1 Corinthians 15:22-23). Jesus is our prototype. Just as He received His glorious body at His resurrection, so we will receive our glorious bodies at our resurrection. After His resurrection, Jesus freely moved in and out of the physical realm and the spirit realm. We will also possess this ability. Jesus said of us: “For when they rise from the dead…. they will be like the angels in heaven.” (Mark 12:25). Throughout the bible, angels are seen to appear in physical form.
We certainly have much to look forward to as the season of Jesus’s second advent approaches. This aspect of our own resurrection to glorious new bodies is just one of the many reasons we celebrate Jesus’s resurrection this Sunday.
Happy Resurrection Day!
Maranatha, Jim
