How can we get a glimpse of what our resurrected body will be like?
The best way to glimpse what our resurrected body will be like is to examine Christ in His resurrection experience—the forty days between His coming out of the tomb and His ascension in Acts chapter 1—using passages such as Luke chapter 24, where His resurrection body appeared to the disciples.
Les explains that the believer's soul and spirit have already been redeemed, but that redemption is a down payment; God will complete the transaction and give us a new body. The best way to get a glimpse of that new body is to look at Christ in His resurrection experience during the forty days between His coming out of the tomb and His ascension in Acts chapter 1. Turning to Luke 24:36, Les notes the ten disciples were meeting, and Jesus Himself stood in their midst saying, “Peace be unto you.” He asks why Jesus had to say peace—because He suddenly appeared. Les calls resurrection the bulwark of our faith: Christ died, arose victoriously over sin, death, Satan, and hell, and can impart to us the blessed hope of resurrection.
