Notes on implications of Christ’s resurrecton

Notes:

• Jesus’ previous body was not used
  • It apparently reverted to its fundamental elements in vapor form (because the grave cloths collapsed)
  • Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom, 1 Cor 15.50
• Jesus appeared in His eternal, glorified body
  • It looked like His previous body, same scars, recognizable visage, etc.
  • It could do things His previous body could do
    • Be material (cast a shadow, leave footprints, handle things, etc.)
    • Be visible
    • Eat, speak, walk, touch, be touched, etc.
  • It was able to do things Jesus’ previous body could not do
    • Teleport, appear-disappear
    • Defy gravity, seen at His ascention (though in His old body He walked on water...)
    • Exist in Heaven as well as on earth
