THE GLORY OF THE RESURRECTION
By Timothy F. Conklin
Scripture Reading: I
Corinthians 15:42-44
What we have before us is
clearly a contrast. Let me set out the contrasting figures to better
illustrate the teaching of the passage. Regarding the resurrection
of man's body we are told:
It is sown in
corruption;
It is RAISED in
incorruption.
It is sown in
dishonour;
It is RAISED in glory.
It is sown in weakness;
It is RAISED in power.
It is sown a natural
body;
It is RAISED a
spiritual body.
Obviously, two different
bodies are being spoken of. The great contrast is between the
original earthy body, tainted by sin, and the new forthcoming body
exalted in glory.
The apostle employs this
graphic and dramatic method of teaching here to emphasize his
primary point at the end of verse 44: "There is a natural body
and there is a spiritual body."
How thrilling to
comprehend that the grave is not the end! The believer has more than
mere certainty of life after death. God has promised a glorious life
in a glorified body to those who trust in Him.
