I don’t spend a lot of time looking at myself in a mirror. Generally I like to see better looking objects. Sometimes I even forget what I look like, thinking I still have the appearance of a much younger man. I also tend to forget how old I am when I begin to do something strenuous. My mind seems to have stayed behind while I got old.
Fortunately, God has given a wonderful promise to us more mature folks. I Corinthians 15:40-44 says, “There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. “
New bodies await all who believe in Jesus for their salvation. These resurrected bodies are powerful, glorious, and imperishable. In other words, our resurrected bodies are remarkably better than we see in the mirror.
