The Resurrection of The Body

Hi everyone.
So sorry for writing this a day late. I have no good excuse so feel free to punch me in the arm when you see me. The reading I went over was a pretty cool one for me because it gave me an opportunity to really see our long term future in pretty clear terms. And I mean wayyy long term.

Usually, I always wonder how it's going to be like. I imagine how heaven might be or what it will seem like standing with all the saints throughout history. Sometimes I can picture it so clearly and other times my lack of faith gets in the way and it's difficult to take in fully.

But I really liked today's reflection because it paints a vivid picture of how the resurrection of our bodies will be like by using the promise of scriptures and the example of Jesus.

It also makes me reflect that God made my body and the way that I am with and for a purpose so that He could be glorified through it. It's amazing how detailed and intricate our Father is. Louie Giglio put it best when he said, "Though we are but a vapor, we are marked by majesty."

I won't lie. It kind of makes one feel special and unique but not in that arrogant way. More in that thankful kind of way.

One last thing and I would love an opinion about this... All my friends have tattoos and I always wanted to get one for some reason. But ever since I've been a Christian, I've come to believe in the resurrection of the body as Stott illustrates and I've been afraid to get any kind of tattoos because I don't want it to be with me forever. Pastor James...Do you have an opinion on this small matter??
