What does Philippians 3:21 say Jesus will do to our body?
Philippians 3:21 teaches that Jesus Christ will change our vile, corrupt body, transforming it to be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. This change is a metamorphosis on a grander scale than a butterfly.
Les explains that our citizenship is in heaven, and from there we look for the Savior, not the King. He emphasizes that Christ will come at the second coming to the Mount of Olives as King of kings and Lord of lords, but not for the church. For the church, He comes as the Savior, the head of the body. At that time, He will change our vile, corrupt body, a metamorphosis on a grander scale than a butterfly, fashioning it like unto His glorious body. Les suggests that to get a glimpse of our new resurrected body, we should study the 40 days of Christ's resurrection: He looked normal, walked on two feet, had outward appearances as another human being, walked with the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and they invited Him for a meal, then suddenly He was gone without going out the door or slipping out a window.
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.
