DISCIPLESHIP - OUR NEW GLORIFIED BODY

1 Corinthians 15:51–52 KJV 1900

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

: 51-52

Philippians 3:21 KJV 1900

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Philippians

Holman New Testament Commentary: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians & Colossians D. Knowing Christ Exposes Reckless Living (vv. 17–21)

Why look to the future rather than the present for satisfaction and joy? Because in the resurrection, Jesus has shown that he is sovereign. Everything is under his control. We have no reason to pamper and value the earthly body. It passes away. Jesus has another body for us, one like his resurrected body. It can take up citizenship in heaven with the resurrected Christ. The joy there is so great, we can forsake any pleasures earth might give. The apostle gives more details of this event in 1 Corinthians 15:51–54.

Our bodies get sick, hurt, desire sinful pleasures, grow old, and eventually die. Followers of Christ have the hope that life in this world is not the end. Someday, we will have a perfect body that will never die, a body like the one the Savior now has (1 John 3:2). Chapter 3 communicates the joy that Paul had in knowing Christ. Through his growing experience with the Son of God, he shared how this relationship is superior to false teaching, the pride of life and reckless living. Instead, he anticipated the day when he would be like his Savior and live forever in perfect joy with him.

1 John

1 John 3:2 KJV 1900

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

“We are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory.” This process of transformation, which is slow and uneven here on earth, will be rapid and complete when we see Jesus.

a. Our new body will be like the body of Christ that Jesus had after the resurrection. (33 years old)

b. Right now, our capabilities are limited because of our flesh.

Luke

Luke 24:39 KJV 1900

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

a. This body will have substance. (Can be touched and handled.)

b. This body has flesh which give the body it’s appearance.

: 25-26

Job 19:25–26 KJV 1900

25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, Yet in my flesh shall I see God:

1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV 1900

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

1 Corinthians 13:12

a. We will be able to recognize each other in heaven.

b. We will have our own distinct characteristics.

1 Corinthians 15:41–43 KJV 1900

41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

:

1 Corinthians 15:41–44 KJV 1900

41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

:

Our present bodies are Corruptible, Perishable, and Prone to Decay. Our resurrection bodies will be transformed. These spiritual bodies will not be limited to the laws of nature.

This does not necessarily mean we’ll be super-people, but our bodies will be different and more capable than our present earthly bodies.

4. Our New Glorified Body in which the spirit dominates.

1 Corinthians 15:44 KJV 1900

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

1 Corinthians 15

a. Right now, we are in a body that the flesh mostly dominates.

1 Corinthians 15:44 KJV 1900

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

1 Corinthians

Our spiritual bodies will not be weak, will never get sick, and will never die.

a. Right now, we are in a body that the flesh mostly dominates.

: 13-14

James 1:13–14 KJV 1900

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

b. Right now, the spirit usually submits to the flesh.

Mark 14:38 KJV 1900

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

:

a. Jesus was able to appear and vanish right before the disciples eyes.

Luke 24:31–36 KJV 1900

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

: 31-36

b. This also happened in the mist of secured room.

John 20:19 KJV 1900

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

John 20:26 KJV 1900

26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

John

c. I personally believe that because the body is spirit controlled, the body will be able to travel by the will of the of the spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:1 KJV 1900

1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 Corinthians

a. This body will never wear out.

b. This glorified body will be youthful, able and energetic forever.

c. This body will never be overweight or underweight.

1 Corinthians 15:43 KJV 1900

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

1 Corinthians

Romans 8:18 KJV 1900

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

a. Not only does glorified mean beautiful, but it is also means bright.
