Resurrection of the body

<< < (3/3)

Hi GregR,

When Jesus Christ was resurrected He was given all power and authority.

Mat 28:18  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.

Christ is with His Father in the heavenly realm, therefore He must be spirit.

John 3:5  Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Heb 9:24  For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

He returned to His glorified state of being and He gained all power and aithority as soon as He was resurrected.  His physical body was of no Consequence, because He had all power.  Maybe it was changed at His resurrection, but regardless after His resurrection He was able to take any form He chose and moved about freely, not being hindered by doors, locks or the stone or anything physical.
When He appeared to the disciples He put on different forms at different times, whatever He desired as He chose to.
He created the universe and has control over the physical elements and is not hindered by any natural laws, because He was the One that made the laws.
See what I mean He's all powerful, He does whatever He desires.

mercy, peace, and love

Hi Greg,

The stone was removed to reveal an empty tomb, the body was "changed" into a spiritual body, it is written that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom does the King Himself have a flesh and blood body?

1Cor 15:50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1Cor 15:51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1Cor 15:52In 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.

1Cor 15:53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

We all will follow His example in all things, in His resurrection is the hope of our own.

Phi 3:21  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.

Mar 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Mar 16:10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

Mar 16:11And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

Mar 16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

Can a flesh, blood and bone body change form? I know that with God all things are possible but He is Spirit, His Words are life giving Spirit and His Kingdom is Spirit.

Joh 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth2227; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.


 *quickeneth

G2227
ζωοποιέω
zōopoieō
dzo-op-oy-eh'-o
From the same as G2226 and G4160; to (re-) vitalize (literally or figuratively): - make alive, give life, quicken.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe
