How can a body be resurrected? Part of a body may be buried in one place and part in another! A man may die at sea and be thrown overboard. Fish may eat the remains. Another may be cremated, and his ashes widely scattered. Is this a problem to the Creator?
A chemist was once showing a visitor to his laboratory a silver cup he had received as a prize. Accidentally the cup dropped from his hand into a vat of acid, and it melted away like a snowflake. The chemist went to a shelf and picked up a test tube of a certain chemical and dropped it into the acid. The silver immediately began to settle to the bottom of the vat where it could be collected. "I will send it back to the manufacturers," he said, "and have it recast."
If the chemist can do this, cannot our Creator resurrect our bodies in a fashion suitable for His Spirit to dwell in?
"Some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?... Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Cor. 15:35, 51, 5235But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? (1 Corinthians 15:35)
51Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51‑52).
Who will be changed? Who will be raised?
The same chapter (verse 23) tells us it is "they that are Christ's at His coming."
Are you His? Are you sure?
