The
Resurrection Body
35But
someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will
they come?" 36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it
dies. 37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just
a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a
body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own
body. 39All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals
have another, birds another and fish another. 40There are also heavenly
bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly
bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.
41The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars
another; and star differs from star in splendor.
So will it be
with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable,
it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in
glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a
natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If
there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is
written: "The first man Adam became a living being"[c]; the last Adam,
a life-giving spirit. 46The spiritual did not come first, but the
natural, and after that the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust
of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so
are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also
are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness
of the earthly man, so shall we[d] bear the likeness of the man from
heaven.
1
Corinthians 15:19-54
WHAT
IS THE RESURRECTION?
Very
simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or surmounting of death. It
is a reawakening or a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of
the world. It is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit's interpretation of
the world's purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. It is
the end of dreams of misery, and the glad awareness of the Holy
Spirit's final dream. It is the recognition of the gifts of God. It is
the dream in which the body functions perfectly, having no function
except communication. It is the lesson in which learning ends, for it
is consummated and surpassed with this. It is the invitation to God to
take His final step. It is the relinquishment of all other purposes,
all other interests, all other wishes and all other concerns. It is the
single desire of the Son for the Father.
The resurrection is the denial of
death, being the
assertion of life.
