Better Than Bionic!
"The body is sown in corruption,
it is raised in
incorruption."
1 Corinthians 15: 42
In the 1970s, Lee Majors starred in The
Six Million Dollar Man about an astronaut
who was seriously injured in a spaceship
crash and rebuilt with bionic parts.
Today the concept is no longer science fiction.
Doctors replace
organs, bones, corneas, hands and arms, joints and hips, and
even faces. Still, only one thing eventually takes care of the
aging process—death!
Our earthly bodies are far from perfect, and over time they
age and
decay. But as Christians we’ll receive new bodies
when we get to heaven that are indestructible, incredible,
and infinite. They will not get old or break down.
Our new bodies will be totally resistant to deterioration or
decay. Your new body will be designed for eternity. It will
not be subject to accidents, diseases, aging, or death. It
will be pain-free and disease-free. It will never wear out
and never die.
If you are ill or hurting today, take a moment to
ask God for His healing power, and give thanks
for the body
to come.
"There is a day coming when…all of the maladies
of this life are destroyed, when we, in our glorified
bodies will live in heaven…eternally fulfilling
God’s ordained purpose for us."
Paul P. Enns
