  5. 2 of 2 Recap - The Gethsemane Agony 40 And when he came to the place he said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 "Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." 44 And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground ." (Luke 22) 40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour? 41Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.“ (Matt 26) Drawing by Richard Hook

  8. Jesus 4 Born of Woman 3 Alive body Relationships Prophecies 2 Dead body 1 Resurrected 5 6 8 Appeared Ascended Spiritual body 9 7 10 Empowered To Return New Earth Spiritual body

  9. Spir -1 5. Spiritual body • raised a spiritual body (1Cor 15:44) • glorified & glorious (Acts 3:13, Phil 3:21) • power of an indestructible life (Heb 7:16) • immortal (1Cor 15:53) • incorruptible/imperishable (1Cor 15:53) • ate (Luke 24:42-43) • was touched (Matt 28:9) • was recognized (John 21:7) • a living Lord (John 14:19, Rev 1:18)

  10. Application: • This bestowal happened to Jesus upon his resurrection • Believers anticipate having such a “glorious body” (Phil 3:21) 1Corinthians 15:44 Spir -2 • It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. Points: • Stated explicitly that there is a “spiritual body” • It is put forward in contrast to the “physical body” = talking • about a different nature being bestowed upon a human being • That bestowal is described as: “we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up with life” (2Cor 5:4)

  11. Application: This resurrected glorified body was the ultimate vindication and witness for Jesus, by God (cf. John 5:36-37, 10:25-26) Acts 3:13 Spir -3 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up… Points: • Context: Peter is describing what happened when God raised • Jesus from the dead (v.15,26). This glorification included the • vindication of Jesus’ work and teaching (v.18,22), as well asthe bestowal of the divine nature upon His Son • Peter reaffirms these points in 3:9-10 (the healing is proof of • Jesus’ extended power) and 10:38-43 (prophets bore witness)

  12. Application: As Jesus received a spiritual body and superlative powers from his Father, so will believers from Jesus (Rev 2:26-27, Heb 6:5) Phil 3:21 Spir -4 who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself. Points: • “glorious body” contrasts “lowly body” = clearly a superlative • nature is being indicated. • “by the power” indicates that Jesus was granted extended power along with his new body (cf. Luke 4:35-36, Acts 4:7-10)

  13. Application: Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them (Heb 7:25) Hebrews 7:16 Spir -5 who has become a priest, not according to a legal requirement concerning bodily descent but by the power of an indestructible life Points: • “indestructible life” = cannot be destroyed, i.e.,will go on • and on, forever • Fulfills the prophecy of Ps 110:4 “Thou art a priest for ever” • (Heb 7:17); Jesus “holds his priesthood permanently, because • he continues for ever”(Heb 7:24)

  14. Application: Therefore, my beloved brethren, [being confident of this outcome] be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain (1Cor 15:58) 1Corinthians 15:53 Spir -6 For this perishable[corruptible] nature must put on the imperishable [incorruption], and this mortal nature must put on immortality. Points: • Context:“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep” (v.15) = Jesus • was the first man to be made imperishable and immortal • “put on” = was not there before; immortality is not given until after the resurrection; it is a gift given after the verdict of “Enter into the joy of your master” (Matt 25:21)

  15. Application: You [the 11 apostles] are those who have continued with me in my trials; and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,  that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom (Luke 22:28-30) = this capability will be enjoyed by believers in the Kingdom age Luke 24:42-43 Spir -7 • They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them Points: • Context: vv. 36-41 the resurrected Jesus has appeared amongst the apostles, who “disbelieved for joy” (couldn’t believe it was really him) so Jesus said “Have you anything here to eat?” • Explicit statement that the ‘spiritual body’ can and did eat food

  16. Application: When Jesus told Mary “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father”, it was not a matter of being touched, but of being clung to, i.e., Mary did not want to let Jesus go. Jesus assured her that he was going to be around for a while [would be 40 days before he ascended – Acts 1:3] Matthew 28:9 Spir -8 And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Points: • Context: vv. 1-8 the women had come to the tomb to minister to the dead body, but found none, since the tomb had been opened and the Lord risen (per the angel’s words); as they left to tell the disciples, they were met by the resurrected Jesus… • Explicit statement that the ‘spiritual body’ can and was touched

  17. Application: God has called and chosen faithful men and women from all ages to be part of the Bride of His Son; it is as individuals (yet being together in the united body) that they will glorify their Lord (Heb 11, Rev 7:9-12); This rewarding of servants occurs when Jesus returns (Rev 11:15-18) John 21:7 Spir -9 That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Points: • Jesus, in his glorified body, was recognized as being himself • In the transfiguration experience, Peterwas able to still recognize • his Lord, but also Moses and Elijah (Matt 17:1-4) = in Kingdom • age, the glorified saints will still be recognized as individuals

  18. Application: • As first-born from the dead, Jesus was empowered to be the • start of the new creation,the church (Col 1:15-18, 2Cor 5:17) • This church = individuals who have a spiritual birth, continued • development, & ultimate deliverance “from the bondage of decay” and the “redemption of the body” (1Pet 1:23-2:2, Rom 8:21-23) John 14:9 Spir -10 Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me; because I live, you will live also. Points: • A “living Lord” (vs. dead founder)is unique in world religions • “but you will see me” = privilege given to the 11 (Acts 10:41) • “live also” = in their lifetime, and eternal life in the Kingdom

  19. Application: And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:’The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens’.(Rev 3:7 cf. Is 22:22 and the connection with promises to David) Revelation 1:18 Spir -11 and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Points: • Context: vv. 12-16 describe the resurrected Jesus (as represented by his angel v. 1, cf. 22:16) & depict a glorified high priest who lives forever (cf. Melchizedek priesthood, Heb 7:17-24); Jesus is ‘walking’ in the midst of 7 representative churches (Rev. 1:13,20) • “keys ofDeath & Hades” alludetothefact that Jesus has conquered Death, first for himself, and ultimately, for all his followers (Acts 2:24, 1Cor 15:26,54); the idea traces back to the seed-of-Abraham promises who willpossess the gate of his enemies (Gen 22:17)

  20. Summary – Spiritual body Spir -12 raised glorified glorious immortal is the living Lord imperishable Drawing by Richard Hook recognized as Jesus indestructible ate food, was touched

  21. So What? Spir -13 Alert Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet from your brethren as he raised me up. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you (Acts 3:22) = Jesus And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people(Acts 3:23)= us Assurance To enjoy God’s glorious promises in the Kingdom of God believers will be given a spiritual body: His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godlinessthrough the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature(2Pet 1:3-4)

  22. Quiz There is a ________ body (current human make-up) and a ________body (future make-up of the faithful). Because Jesus was the ___-_____ from the dead, his new body would be like that of those who would be raised to eternal life at his coming and judgment.

  40. Supplemental Reference Material #11 Denial that “Jesus has come in the flesh” 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit [i.e., teacher, prophet] which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,3 and every spirit which does not confess Jesus[elipis: has come in the flesh] is not of God. This is the spirit ofantichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.(1John 4) 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledgethe coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward. 9 Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son. (2Jn) Thus, there were many men, antichrists, who had left the church and were promoting this false teaching (cf. 1Jn 2:18-22). They and their teaching were to be repudiated (cf. 2Jn 10-11)

  41. 1 of 2 Supplemental Reference Material #12a “And the word became flesh” (Jn 1:14) 14And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

Is 55:11, 45:23) and Jesus will absolutely do the same (John 10:30) • Jesus is not “the word”, but “the word made flesh” • Jesus is the example for us to follow: human beings who make our will, character & doings like those of our Father, using His Word.
