Glorious Bodies

     There is a fixation by humans to keep their bodies looking young. The reality is that one out of every one dies! You have a 100% chance of dying. But the good news is that if you believe in Jesus Christ this outward tent of human flesh is simply a vessel for His Holy Spirit. We are to respect our bodies as they are one with Christ. But we are to worship Christ, not our bodies.
     The world would have us fixated on superficial things such as fat, winkles, age spots, and the like; but with Christ in our lives, we will one day be called home, whether after our death or at the Rapture of the Church. When the trumpet sounds these out-of-date models of human flesh will be traded in for glorious bodies!
     Don't get distracted by the sparkle, glitz, hype of the world or Satan the deceiver, you must be "born again" to receive an eternal heavenly body one day. The way is simple…trust Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, your Lord and Savior, ask Him to come into your body and dwell with you. To do that you need to confess your sins, not for His sake as He already knows them all as He wore them on the cross, but for your own comfort, knowing you are forgiven and can begin anew "born again" in the righteousness of Christ.
     Praise You Lord for Your awful suffering so that we can come to You and be forgiven, made new, and live our lives with a holy, eternal purpose. Amen.

Philippians 3:18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 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.
