206th Post Jesus on Faith Con't - Luke 24: 38 - 39

Jesus appears to the disciples in the upper room continued.
In this account Jesus is showing them His new resurrection body. We will be receiving ours, when Jesus comes again at the last Trumpet. The Bible is pretty clear on this if you pay attention to the clues. The Bible tells us that Jesus was the first to receive His resurrection body as part of His being the First Fruits. I will get into this in more detail when we look at Jesus up coming suffering and death, discussed later in this study. Jesus asked the disciples for food and drink. Jesus ate to show them that He was not a spirit. About this time in the teaching, questions start coming asking when we die what happens to our bodies, will people recognize us in Heaven? When I get these questions, I refer to the Transfiguration of Christ (Matthew 17: 1 - 13). Jesus and a small group of His most trusted disciples were alone on a Mountain top, when all of a sudden, a thick cloud covered them, they could see Elijah and Moses talking to Jesus. If Jesus is the first one to receive His resurrected body, and they could see Elijah and Moses, and they were recognized, this means if we die before the Second Coming of Christ at the Last Trumpet, our bodies will be in a similar state to Moses and Elijah. What exactly this state is, the Bible is unclear. I see I have run out of space again. Continued next post.
