That
Spirit of God also, that took its leave of the body when it went to
the grave, shall now in all perfection dwell in the body again. I
tell you, the body at this day will shine brighter than the face of
Moses or Stephen, even as bright as the sun, the stars and angels.
"When Christ who is our life shall appear, we shall appear with him
in glory."
Christ has showed us what our body at the resurrection shall be, by
showing us in his word what his body was at and after his
resurrection. We read that his body after he was risen from the
dead, though it yet retained the very same flesh and bones that did
hang upon the cross, yet how angelical was it at all times, upon all
occasions! He could come in to his disciples with that very body,
when the doors were shut upon them. He could at pleasure, to their
amazement, appear in the twinkling of an eye in the midst of them.
He could be visible and invisible, as he pleased, when he sat at
meat with them. In a word, he could pass and repass, ascend and
descend in that body with far more pleasure and ease than the bird
by the art of her wing.
Now I say, as we have in this world borne the image of our first
father; so at that day we shall have the image of Jesus Christ, and
be as he is. 1 Cor.
