The Body Matters
Our bodies matter to God. And He will not allow them to stay in the grave forever. Soon, everyone will rise on Judgment Day.
Guest (Male): Open the Bible with Colin Smith.
Colin Smith: Your life is a marvelous union of your soul and your body. Jesus Christ will bring you body and soul into the joy of a new creation. Death separates your soul from your body. That's why it's such an enemy; it's the tearing apart of what God has joined together. It will only be defeated when your body and soul are reunited in the power of a new life.
When Christ appeared to his disciples, they thought they were seeing a ghost. But Jesus drew attention to his body: "See my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." Our bodies matter, and Jesus came not just to save a part of you, but to redeem the whole of you.
