Bible Question: What is the 'state' of Jesus' body in heaven? When we get to heaven, will we see a physical body? Are there any scriptural references. Thanks all! |
Bible Answer: Jesus was the first man to be given a resurrection body. although his new body (post resurrection) was radically different (from the pre-resurrected body) he still retained his scars and ate food. He was a solid flesh and bone person, but somehow was able to appear within a locked room! it is this body that shows us a tiny snippet of God’s plan for a new heaven and earth. in the eternal state - heaven, our glorified bodies will reflect a new order of things. The Bible tells us that we will look like Jesus in his resurrected form. 1 John 3:2 "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." Philippians 3:20-21 "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." John 20:26-27 "A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.’" Matthew 17:1-2 "After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light." Revelation 1:14-17 "His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead." i pray you find this answer helpful. God bless you! |
