What could Jesus' immortal resurrection body do?

Jesus' immortal resurrection body could pass through walls and ceilings, be transported from one place to a vast distance away in a split second, and even eat with His disciples. It had all the outward appearances of another human being, looking common and ordinary rather than bizarre or weird, while now being immortal.

Les teaches that after His resurrection, Jesus appeared so normal that Mary mistook Him for a gardener and the disciples did not immediately know who He was. They saw Him cooking fish on the shore; when the net came full, Peter said, "It's the Lord!" Les points out that Jesus ate breakfast with them, showing His resurrection body had all the outward appearances of another human being, yet He was now immortal. He did not need to use a door; He could go through a wall or ceiling and be transported a jillion miles away in a split second. Les says even the speed of light will become nothing for us in the immortal and eternal state. This gives believers the prospect of new, resurrected, immortal, heavenly, eternal bodies, no longer tied to this old earth as simple monuments of clay, and they will not look weird or like something out of a Hollywood concoction, but will look as normal as Jesus did during the 40 days from His resurrection until His ascension.
