Body and Soul
Body and Soul
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Are we a body with a soul, or a soul with a body?
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Neither, we are altogether body and soul
Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Was Jesus flesh or Spirit?
Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
The Temptation of Jesus
The Temptation of Jesus
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
The life of Jesus had to be fully that of a man for Him to be our substitute.
The Cross
The Cross
After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.”
The death of Jesus had to be fully that of a man for Him to be our substitute. This was justice.
The Resurrected Christ
The Resurrected Christ
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.
lk 21
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”
It was important for Jesus to show that resurrection was of both body and soul.
There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.
Heavenly Bodies
Heavenly Bodies
Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.
What is a heavenly body?
1. It is a resurrected body, reunited with the soul
1. It is a resurrected body, reunited with the soul
see: JESUS
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
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.
I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
2. It still bears resemblance to the earthly
2. It still bears resemblance to the earthly
It is human
For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.
Jesus was recognizable and still had scars
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
We will still be us, even if different
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
mt 22:
But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”
It seems that the full expectation for believers is to go and be in contact with those gone on. We will still be us; just different
3. It more reflects the glory of God than the earthly
3. It more reflects the glory of God than the earthly
free from suffering or decay
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.
So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.
the stain of sin is removed
rev 7:13-
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. “Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
When do we get it?
Not at our death
and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
At the resurrection
Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
While those who have died in the Lord are already removed from suffering, even they are looking forward to the resurrection; the fulfilling of all things
Adam 2.0; Humanity 2.0
Adam 2.0; Humanity 2.0
The first Adam: Adam
The first Adam: Adam
The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.
Speaking of his creation
then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
Speaking of his realm; earth
Speaking of his fate
By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Being born, we bear the image of Adam
For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
The resurrection of those in Adam
and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
The Second Adam
The Second Adam
He is Jesus
He is eternal
His fate is to be with God forever
Being born again, we bear His image
Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
The resurrection for those in Christ
When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
Everyone is destined for a resurrection. For the saved, we will be raised immortal and glorious, to be with Jesus and our loved ones forever. Thanks be to God for this victory!
