Study Notes
The Nature of Christ's Resurrection Body
- Christ's body was glorified, immortal, and supernatural, able to pass through solid matter and appear/disappear at will
- Continuity of identity: same person, recognizable, but radically changed
- Physicality to the resurrection: body with marks of crucifixion and wound in the side
- Not just an appearance, but a body with physicality (John 20:27)
Characteristics of the Resurrection Body
- Impossible to die, age, or be injured
- Insusceptible to illness and disease
- Able to vanish and reappear at will (not indicative of the resurrected state for humans)
1 Corinthians 15: The Key Chapter on Resurrection
- The body is sown in corruption, dishonor, and weakness, but raised in incorruption, glory, and power
- Radical transformation and change, no longer subject to decay
- Raised because of the power of God that raised Christ from the dead
The Order of Life and Existence
- A natural body becomes a spiritual body ( soma pneumatikon)
- From Adam (earthly) to the second Adam (heavenly), bearing the image of the heavenly
- Will be like Him (Philippians 3)
Christ's Ascension and Exaltation
- Removal from time and space, into the eternal state
- Exaltation to the position of preeminence in the cosmos and heaven
- Shares in the power and glory of the Son, sitting at His right hand as vice-regent
Manifested Presence and Ubiquity
- Christ's body manifests His presence in heaven
- Localized, manifested presence, not altering or restricting His attributes of Deity
- The Lutherans' concept of ubiquity: the quality given to Christ's body by the Divine Nature
