RESURRECTION – Importance of

How important is the resurrection of Christ? And what was his body like after the resurrection?

Read John chapter 20. He looked like a man, Mary talked with him in the garden (John 20:14-17). He appeared to his Disciples (John 20:19-20) and proved it was him, in flesh (John 20:25). Later he appeared to Thomas (John 20:27) again proving he was alive, in a body (John 20:39). He had a body of flesh and bones (Luke 24:39) yet he could pass thru locked doors (John 20:26) and he could eat as he dined with them (John 21:12-15, Luke 24:29-30).
How important is the resurrection? The answer is found in 1 Corinthians 15:12-18 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
How important is the resurrection? Because he arose, we too shall rise (if we are dead at His coming) and have new bodies.
1 Corinthians 15:35-36 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
1 Corinthians 15:51-53 Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Just as Christ rose with a body of Flesh and Bone (his blood was shed on the alter of God to pay for all sin), we too shall have bodies of flesh and bone. But no BLOOD. The reason: Life is in the blood and thru it is our old nature. It has to be removed.

A New Body

The Bible teaches us that one day we will receive a new body.

Psalm 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
1 Corinthians 13:12 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 John 3:2 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.
Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
1 Corinthians 15:49-52 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Although the word body does not appear in the following references, it is certainly implied.

Daniel 12:1-2  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

Do you think Peter, James, and John saw ghosts or real bodies?

Matthew 17:1-3 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

The scripture makes it clear, everyone will have a new body, some in honor (Heaven) and some in dishonor (Lake of Fire)! Which will it be for YOU?
