What kind of bodies will believers have in the resurrection?

Believers will have new, resurrected, immortal, heavenly, eternal bodies. They will not be tied to this old earth or look weird. Outwardly they will appear normal and human, just as the risen Christ did during those forty days, though they will be immortal and capable of supernatural movement.

Les explains that after His resurrection Jesus appeared so ordinary that Mary thought He was a gardener, and the disciples did not immediately recognize Him. He cooked fish, asked for food, and ate with them, showing He had all the outward appearances of another human being. Yet He was now immortal: He could go through walls, go through ceilings, and be transported from one place to another in a split second. Les says believers have this glorious prospect: they will no longer be tied to this old earth or be simple monuments of clay. They will have new, resurrected, immortal, heavenly, eternal bodies. They will not look weird or like something out of a Hollywood concoction, but 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.
