THE GLORY OF THE RESURRECTION - By Timothy F. Conklin


 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.


How God Saves Men
Believing Christ DIED, that’s HISTORY.
Believing Christ DIED for YOU SINS and Rose again that’s SALVATION.
Read Romans 1:16, Romans 10:9-10 and 1. Corinthians 15:1-4
