Will our resurrected bodies look weird?
No. The resurrected body will not look weird or like a Hollywood concoction. It will appear normal and ordinary from all human outward appearances, just as the Lord Jesus did during the forty days between His resurrection and ascension. He looked common, ate, and was not immediately recognized only because features were not fully defined.
Les teaches that the answer is no. He points to Mary at the tomb: in the semi-darkness of early dawn she thought Jesus was a gardener, not because He looked bizarre, but because she could not define His features enough to recognize Him. The disciples likewise saw Him cooking fish on the shore, asked whether He had food or meat, and only after the net came full did Peter say, “It’s the Lord!” If Jesus had looked bizarre and weird, Peter and the ten would have understood, but they did not know who He was; He looked like just another person. Jesus also sat down and ate breakfast with them. He had all the outward appearances of another human being, yet He was now immortal—able to go through a wall or ceiling and be transported instantly. Les says the speed of light will become nothing for us in the immortal and eternal state. We will no longer be tied to this old earth or be simple monuments of clay. We will have new, resurrected, immortal, heavenly, eternal bodies, and we will not look weird or like something out of a Hollywood concoction. We will look just as normal from all human outward appearances as the Lord Jesus did during those forty days from His resurrection until His ascension.
