(1 Corinthians 15:35-49) Have you ever wondered what this means? Have you ever wondered what it will be like? Have you ever wondered what you will look like when it happens? This reading gives us a hint at what being born again actually means. The decree in genesis "From dust to dust" is a bit scary but isn't the whole story. (Genesis 3:19) Jesus and the apostles better explained it as death before being born to a new body in heaven. Death to what? Self and your old ways? Death is a necessity for new life. Death is not the end unless you choose it to be. Following Christ is by choice, your choice, if eternal life is what you want. It is, however, the only path that leads to life. (John 14:6-7) There is no way of knowing beforehand the how-when-where of our resurrection. All we know for sure is that it will happen because our God is true to His word. Christ promised He was going ahead of us to prepare a place for us and we would receive an new body that is incorruptible, eternal. What it will look like or feel like is beyond our ability to comprehend. It is sufficient to know it will be glorious. This body we inhabit now is but a temporary dwelling place we inhabit while we mature and grow in the faith of our Lord. Rejoice in the gift you are given. Rejoice in the promise of new life and new body. Believe in the word of our Lord. It is true and does not waver but remains ever true.
