\f0\fs24\noproof0\insrsid16676713 \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 ). In this respect it is more striking than the Nicene Creed, whic\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 h speaks simply of the resurrection of the dead. This term \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
the resurrection of the flesh\'94\loch\f0 \hich\f0  is certainly a very unexpected choice, since the Scriptures often use \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 flesh\'94\loch\f0 \hich\f0  as a term for our sinful nature. Our sinful nature is often called \'93\loch\f0 
\hich\f0 flesh\'94\loch\f0  because it \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 i\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 s often the appetites and natural needs of our fleshly body that lead us to sin, and because we have served sin with the members of our body. 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0  Paul can say \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 I know that in me, that is in my flesh, dwells no good thing\'94\loch\f0 \hich\f0  (Ro 7:18). Or again, \'93\loch\f0 Flesh and bloo\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0

\loch\f0 \hich\f0  the NIV departs from a literal translation and uses such interpretive translations as \'93\loch\f0 the si\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 n\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 ful nature.\'94\loch\f0 
 However, in the most recent edition of the NIV many of these passages are marked with notes drawing attention to the literal translation.] 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  Because of passages like those in the preceding paragraph some theologians have objected to the creeda\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 l term, \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 the resurrection of the flesh.\'94\loch\f0 
\hich\f0  Generally these objections have simply been an opening ploy for a denial of the resurrection of the body. Therefore, although the exact term \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 resurrection of the flesh\'94\loch\f0 
 does not occur in Scripture this creedal term\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 is a very good one and agrees with the confession of Job, \'93\loch\f0 In my flesh I will see God. I myself will see him with my own eyes
\hich\f0 \emdash \loch\f0 \hich\f0 I, and not another\'94\loch\f0  (Job 19:27). This term powerfully proclaims the continuity from our present body to our eternal body. It sets\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
forth some important positive points, and it guards against denials of the resurrection in the strongest possible way. 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0  This term, \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 resurrection of the flesh,\'94\loch\f0  reminds us of the importance of this body of flesh in the Triune God\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s work of creation redempt
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 ion, and sanctification.
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 The body is more than a mere garment for the soul or a temporary prison house of the soul. The account of creation makes it clear that God intended us to be creatures with body and soul united. We were not made to live in the real
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
m of pure spirit like the angels. Nor were we created to live on the plane of purely physical life like the animals. Man was created as a unique creature standing between, partaking of spiritual and moral responsibilities like the angels and of dependence
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 on the physical world like the animals. God created the body and soul to go together. Both are essential parts of his creation. 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 The body of flesh is vital to the work of redemption. Christ became flesh to redeem our flesh. Indeed, as far as we can judge f\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 rom God\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s revelation, Christ\hich\f0 
\rquote \loch\f0 \hich\f0 s work of redemption was impossible without a body of flesh. \'93\loch\f0 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in the same so that by his death he might destroy him who had the power of death\hich\f0 \emdash

For what the law could not do because it wa\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 s weak through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering\'94\loch\f0  (Ro 8:3). 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 Even when our souls are in heaven, they still have not reached their final goal until they are reunited with the body. Christ redeemed\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  both body and soul. They belong together. For God\hich\f0 
\rquote \loch\f0 \hich\f0 s plan of salvation to be complete, for the restoration of his creation to be complete, it is necessary for the flesh to be raised and reunited with the body in glory. That is why \'93\loch\f0 we ourselves, who have 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 t\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 he firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies\'94\loch\f0  (Ro 8:23). 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 The work of redemption will not be complete until body and soul have been reunited in holiness through the power of Christ\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 death and resurrection. It is a testimony to the greatness of Christ\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s work that even the flesh, which is so contaminated and corrupted by the sin that inheres in our nature, will be redeemed in glory and restored to holiness. 

\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 This body is also the subje\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 ct of sanctification. This body belongs to Christ and it is the dwelling place of his Holy Spirit. \'93\loch\f0 
The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body... Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself .\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
.. Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you ... You are not your own. You were bought with a price. Therefore, honor God with your body\'94\loch\f0  (Co 6:13-20).
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 This body of flesh is important. The respect that we show for the b\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
ody in our customs of burial is a fitting testimony of this importance. Michael, the archangel, contended with Satan for the body of Moses (Jude 9). The body is not mere food for worms, of no real value. It belongs to Christ who redeemed who reserves it t
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 o\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  be restored and to share in his glory. 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 The flesh, as it is, sinful and ruled by physical desires, cannot inherit the kingdom of God (1 Co 15:50). But the flesh that is cleansed and glorified by Christ will live forever in glory and holiness. The characte

\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 The Scriptural term \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 spiritual body\'94\loch\f0 \hich\f0  has been subtly misused to deny resurrection of the body. The creedal term \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 resurrection of the flesh\'94\loch\f0 
 is especially usef\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 ul for combating this false teaching. Sects like the Swedenborgians spoke of a \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 spiritual body\'94\loch\f0 
 by which they meant a non-mate aspect of the soul. With the sly misuse of Scriptural language that so characterizes heresy, some Lutheran theologians who reall\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 y\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
 deny the resurrection of the body continue to use the term in a different sense. C.J. Soedergren, an American Lutheran theologian, provides an example of this kind of sophistry in his article, \'93}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

e resurrection of the body, but not in the resurrection of the flesh. For him the resurrection of the body refers to the continued existence of our spiritual body that leaves our material body when this earthly life ends. He says, \'93\loch\f0 
This spiritual body inh\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 a\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
bits our material body in this life, is coterminous with it, but also independent of it, leaving it at death and continuing to serve as the habitation and medium of the immortal self. Early writers called it the \hich\f0 \lquote \loch\f0 astral body

\loch\f0  is abused to mean an airy, immaterial variety of spirit without flesh and blood. In spite of his attempt to use weasel words, it is clear that Soedergren\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s view and those like it directly clash wit
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 h\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  Scripture at numerous points. Soedergren\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 \hich\f0 
s view is simply a rehash of the heresy of Hymneneus and Philetus (2 Ti 2:18), for he too teaches that the resurrection is past. He casts aside the clear words of Christ, \'93\loch\f0 Look at my hands and feet. It is I myself.
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0  Touch me and see. A spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have\'94\loch\f0  (Lk 4:39).
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 We take God at his Word and firmly believe that Christ will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body (Php 3:21). God who made the univers\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
e will have no difficulty in restoring the body that he once created. Of this we are confident. But as we look forward to the glorious day of resurrection, our eager anticipation leads us to ask, \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 What will this glorious body be like?
\'94
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 Our resurrection body will be the same body that we had on earth, the body that was separated from the soul, which was placed in the ground and which decayed. The very term \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 resurrection\'94
\loch\f0  implies a restoration of that which existed previously. The corresp\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 o\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 nding change to glory in the bodies of those who are alive at Christ\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 
s return also demonstrates the continuity from our lowly body to our glorious body. We need not debate or speculate about the many different cells and atoms that have participated in the\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
\hich\f0 ever-changing composition of our bodies from day to day throughout our lives. We simply accept the fact that God will restore the bodies that we once had. We leave the \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 how\'94\loch\f0 
 in his hands. Jesus sweeps aside every objection and quibble of the scoffer with \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 h\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 is rebuke, \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0

\ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid16676713 \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 I am not sure that Luther is on safe ground when he jumps from the fact that we will not need food to the conclusi\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
on that we will not use food. There is Scriptural basis to say that we will not need food and drink when there is no more growth, waste, or decay in the body, and we certainly will not suffer pangs of hunger or thirst when God supplies our every need (Rev
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
7:16). But I believe that the question of whether there will be real eating and drinking when we sit down at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of God is best left open (Mt 8:11 Lk 14:15). Some of the references to eating and drinking
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 in the kingdom of God occur in contexts in which there is nothing to indicate that we should understand these references as merely figurative. At the institution of the Lord\hich\f0 \rquote

 (Mk 14:224. Also Lk 22:16). We know that Christ was capable of eating in his glorified body (Lk 24:42-43. Perhaps Jn 21:15). It seems unwise to conclude dogmatically that the frequent references to eternal li\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 f
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 e as a feast are purely figurative.
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 The passage generally cited in support of this view is 1 Co 6:13. \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will destroy them both.\'94\loch\f0 
 However, this passage is a parenthetical remark in Paul\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s discussion of s\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 exual immorality and does not specifically address the question of the nature and activities of the body in eternity.
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 This question of the activities of the body in eternity cannot be separated from the question of the nature and characteristics of our ete\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
rnal home. There may well be some difference between the present place of rest for the souls of believers, which we commonly call heaven, and the eternal home where we will dwell with God forever with body and soul united. We should remember that our eter
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 n\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
al home is called the new heavens and the new earth (2 Pe 2:13, Rev. 21:1, Is. 65:17, 66: 22). 1 believe that the creation of a new heavens and a new earth, the restoration of all things (Acts 3:21) and the deliverance of creation from the bondage of corr

\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 Some of the more materialistic-sounding kingdom passages of the Old Testament, which millennialists refe\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0

\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 c\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
riptions of our eternal home. For example, as we have seen, in most cases they have quite flatly ruled out literal eating and drinking. They have generally stated that in eternity we will be free of all limitations of space and time. I think we should be 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 m\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 ore cautious than they were in dismissing as purely symbolic such statements of Jesus as Lk 22:30, \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0

\f0\fs24\noproof0\insrsid16676713 \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 ). Here again I think we should be warned against being too speculative and placing too much weight on conclusions that Scripture does not explicitly state.
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 Although it seems to be the v\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
iew of Luther, I do not find any clear Scriptural support for the view that we will share in the same freedom from time and space which God has, and that there will be no consciousness of a passage of time between death and judgment. In fact, the story of
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
Lazarus and the Rich Man, the souls kept under the altar in heaven (Rev 6:10-11) and the souls who live and reign with Christ (Rev. 20:4) can be cited as supporting the contrary view. Rev 10: 6, \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 There will no more time\'94\loch\f0  (
}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f39\fs24\noproof0\insrsid16676713 \hich\af39\dbch\af31505\loch\f39 xro&nov}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\noproof0\insrsid16676713 \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 ), is usually cited as the 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
Scriptural basis for the view that there is no awareness of succession or passage of time in eternal life, but as the NIV correctly translates, this verse is an announcement that there will be no more, delay before judgment, not a statement about conditio
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 n\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 s in eternal life. Another commonly cited passage, Heb 9:27, is not a statement about conditions in heaven, but a comparison of the once-and-for-all nature of both Christ\hich\f0 \rquote 
\loch\f0 \hich\f0 s work and this present time of grace. \'93\loch\f0 Just as man is destined to die once and afte\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 r\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
 that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people.\'94
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 We should be cautious about drawing too many conclusions about our glorified bodies from the actions and powers of Christ after his resurrection. More was involved\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 in the actions of Christ than a glorified body. Christ was not just a glorified man. He was the God-Man in his state of exaltation. How many of his abilities were due, not to his glorified body, but to the personal union he showed the ability to pass thr
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 o\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 ugh crowds unmolested and to walk on water before his resurrection. His body is able to be everywhere in the Lord\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 
s Supper. We have no basis for assuming our glorified bodies will be like his in this respect, so we should also be cautious in drawing concl\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 u\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
sions not stated by Scripture in other respects also. It is best to stick with the direct statements of Scripture and leave enlightenment on the other points to the Heavenly School.
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 We should be cautious against speculations based on reason. Such speculati\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 ons have led to some absurdities like Origen\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 
s theory that since the most perfect shape is a circle, the resurrection body will be globular. This may be a comfort to those who like their snacks and a distress to dieters, but it is not very good theology. \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 W
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
e should also be careful against demanding a strict literalism in the interpretation of every phrase in a passage. Jerome was quite certain that although there may be no eating in heaven, we will still have teeth otherwise the wicked would not be able to 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 g\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 nash their teeth in hell.
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 Concerning the \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 age\'94\loch\f0 
 of the resurrection body, there have been three opinions. Augustine, among others, held that in the resurrection everyone would be a youth. On the basis of Php 3:21 some have maintained that we will all be the\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
 age of Christ. The most common opinion is that in the resurrection we will be the \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 age\'94\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
 which we were at death. The only Scriptural references which may be relevant are the fact that Christ apparently rose as he had been before death in regard to \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 age\'94\loch\f0  a\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 n
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 d the references in Rev 11:18 and 20:12 to the small and great (}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af39\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f39\fs24\noproof0\insrsid16676713 \hich\af39\dbch\af31505\loch\f39 mikrou\\v kai\\ mega&louv}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 
\ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\noproof0\insrsid16676713 \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 ) standing before God. However, there will certainly be no ravages of old age or sickness. Was the retention of Christ\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 
s wounds then a special case? I think so, because \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
they remained as signs of his glory as the Redeemer, not as shameful results of sin. Concerning the sex of the resurrected body most believe that all parts of the body will be restored, not for their former use, but for the wholeness of the body. Luther s
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 a\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 id, \'93\loch\f0 \hich\f0 Wheat yields wheat, barely yields barley. So it will be in the resurrection.\'94\loch\f0  Men will rise as men, women as women. 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 We will apparently recognize each other in eternal life. We will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Mt 8:11). We will probably k\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
now each other by divine illumination, just as Adam understood his relationship with Eve and Peter knew Moses and Elijah on the Mount. We will undoubtedly know our loved ones for 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, points to the day of Christ\hich\f0 \rquote 
\loch\f0 s return as a happy d\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 a\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 y of reunion. We look forward to that day of reunion, just as David hoped to see his son once again (1 Sa 12:23). 
\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 As there is a glorification of believers in\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0  the resurrection, there will apparently be a corresponding degeneration in the bodies of the damned. \'93\loch\f0 
They shall go forth and took on the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me, for their worm shall not die neither shall their fire be que\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 n\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 \hich\f0 
ched, and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh\'94\loch\f0 
 (Isa 66:24). Though their bodies are immortal and incorruptible in the sense that they will not suffer extinction and dissolution, they will not share in the glory of the resurrection body of the saved,\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 but they will be living in a state which is more appropriately called death than life. Though there will be two outcomes of the resurrection of the body, there will be only one resurrection of the body (Da 1:2, Jn 5:28,29).

\par \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 Finally, we should remember that\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 God has not revealed the doctrine of the resurrection of the flesh and of our spiritual body, so that we may debate in a theoretical way about the activities in the new heavens and the new earth and about the characteristics of our spiritual bodies. As w
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 e\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 see and experience the sickness and weakness of this body of flesh, and as we sympathize with the pain all around us, let us pray for the day when our lowly bodies will be fashioned like his glorious body. This doctrine is revealed so that we, as practic
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 a\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0
