What is Christ's glorious body?
Christ's glorious body is His post-resurrection body, the glorified body He attained after death, burial, and resurrection, as described in Philippians 3:20-21. It is not the body of humiliation before the cross. Believers' vile bodies will be fashioned like it.
Les explains that Philippians 3:20-21 teaches our citizenship is in heaven, and we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our vile body—prone to sickness, death, and corruption—to be fashioned like His glorious body. Les clarifies this is not the body of humiliation before the cross, but His post-resurrection body, glorified after death, burial, and resurrection, attaining again the glory He had, as referenced in John 17. Les suggests studying the 40 days of Christ's post-resurrection life in Luke 24 to understand our future resurrected body.
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
